A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Llaniestyn from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "LLANIESTYN, a parish in the [registration] district of Bangor and county of Anglesey; near Red Wharf bay, 3 miles NW of Beaumaris, and 7 NE by N of Llanfair [railway] station. Post town: Beaumaris, Anglesey. Acres: 1,663. Real property: £1,363. Population: 212. Houses: 42. The property is divided among a few. The living is a [perpetual] curacy, annexed to the Vicarage of Llangoed, in the diocese of Bangor. The church is dedicated to St. Jestyn; was rebuilt on the site of one which belonged to Llanfaes priory; is early perpendicular English, in very poor condition; and contains a curious font of the 12th century, and an inscribed slab, with inscription almost defaced, of the 14th century, supposed to commemorate St. Jestyn."
In 1894 the parish was separated into two parts. Llaniestyn Urban was immediately absorbed into the adjacent municipal borough of Beaumaris, and Llaniestyn Rural (parish) was made part of Aethwy Rural District.
