Ornate village pump at Bodedern
The inscription, in Welsh only, on this pump reads that it was erected in memory of the late Capt. James King, of Presaddfed. King, a retired captain in the elite 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment of Foot - the "Faughs" (their war cry being "Faugh A Ballagh" [Fág a' Bealach], meaning Clear the Way) - was murdered on his own doorstep by an Irish vagrant in 1873 after he reprimanded him for knocking at the front rather than the back door. Being childless King had already bequeathed Presaddfed to the Stanleys, of Alderley and Penrhos, Holyhead Image In gratitude the Stanleys had a village pump erected at Bodedern.

Eglwys Edern Sant
St Edern founded a religious cell in the district in the 6thC. A church has stood on this particular site since at least the Middle Ages. The present church is a renovation of a more ancient building and dates from 1871. The living used to be in the hands of Jesus College, Oxford's Welsh college and the vicars until the early 20thC were graduates of that college.

From the 17th century onwards, the tithes belonged to Jesus College, Oxford and it was the college which would appoint a rector for the parish from amongst its graduates. Thomas Gwyn (d1645), the then rector of Bodedern, had been prominent in setting up Jesus College to educate the sons of the Welsh gentry
