St Tyfrydog's Church

St Tyfrydog's Church is a medieval church building with rough stone walls and limestone details standing in the center of Rhosybol. A small bellcote sits above the west end, topped with a slate roof that slopes down to the surrounding churchyard.

The church was built in phases, with the nave constructed around 1400 and the chancel added in the late 15th century. A memorial from 1791 marks an important moment in the building's long history.

Inside you can see painted wooden box pews from the 19th century and an Elizabethan silver cup. These pieces show how the church has served the local community across different periods.

The church sits within a circular churchyard near Lon Leidr and is accessible to visitors interested in medieval architecture. It remains an active place of worship, so checking ahead about visitor hours is helpful.

Local folklore speaks of a stone near the church that is said to be a man transformed to rock as punishment for stealing a Bible from the building. This tale has been passed down through generations in the community.
