Description
A more delightful setting for a church could scarcely be imagined. All around are steep wooded hills, and below the sloping churchyard the Dee plunges over the picturesque Horsehoe Falls.
St. Tysilios itself - dedicated to a princely abbot of the Powys royal house.
It was probably built in the 15th century, though fragments of earlier carved stones surround a little north window. There is a fine late medieval roof with panelled canopy of honour over the altar; a rare medieval oak eagle lectern; a sculpted font; and two little 15th century stained glass figures in the north window.
