Ysbyty Ifan: the post office

Ysbyty Ifan had a village shop and post office, but the shop closed on 30 July 1999. The present postmistress restored the service in her house, from where she already ran a sewing business, and the post office reopened in March 2000 as a Thursday morning service. That arrangement continues to this day, and as well as the usual post office services there is a very basic selection of items such as loaves and eggs available.

This postbox has doubtless been re-sited from the old shop when it closed in 2000, to this position outside the present-day post office - see SH8448 : Ysbyty Ifan: the post office for more information.

Ysbyty Ifan: euro currency available here

Even in this tiniest of post offices, open for just four hours on a Thursday morning, foreign currency is available over the counter. I wonder how much call there is here for this service. See SH8448 : Ysbyty Ifan: the post office for more discussion on Ysbyty Ifan's post office.

Ysbyty Ifan: parish church of St. John

Pictured in a horrid drizzle, St. John's church stands on the lane heading east from the village centre. A hostel had been set up here by the Knights of St. John in the late 12th century, the village being on the pilgrimage route to Holywell. The hostel was abolished in 1540 but the building remained as the parish church before being replaced by the current building in 1860. No doubt, this history is reflected in the name of the village, ysbyty being the Welsh word for hospital.
