Quick Facts Population, OS grid reference ...

At the 2001 census the community had a population of 781,[1] increasing to 894 at the 2011 census.[2] The village itself has a population of around 400.[3]

Saint Peulan's Church stands in an isolated position at Llanbeulan, in the south east of the community. A medieval building, it partly dates from the 12th century, but was extended in the 14th, and restored in the mid-19th century. The gritstone font dates from late 12th century. It is considered an example of a "rural medieval church retaining its simple character" and is Grade II* listed.[4]

Pandy Treban, a former fulling mill in the north of the community, and the 18th-century bridge at Pont Factory Cymunod, over the Afon Crigyll on the border with Bodedern, are Grade II listed.[5][6]

An electoral ward in the same name existed. This stretched beyond the confines of Bryngwran Community with a total population taken at the 2011 census of 1,903.[12]

Following the Isle of Anglesey (Electoral Arrangements) Order 2012 the ward was amalgamated into a new multi-councillor ward, Canolbarth Môn.[13]
