St Silin's Church

St Silin's Church stands at 174.7 meters elevation, featuring a stone tower from 1832 and medieval architectural elements including a 13th-century lancet window.

The church structure began construction in 1405 after its Norman predecessor was destroyed during Owain Glyndwr's rebellion against English rule.

The wooden ceiling displays carved wyverns, while a notable stained glass window commemorates Welsh poet Huw Morus, a former churchwarden buried near the southern wall.

The church maintains regular services, offers parking facilities, includes a shop for visitors, and contains a peal of six bells operated by local ringers.

This Grade I listed building extends partially into Shropshire, England, yet operates under the Church in Wales jurisdiction following the Welsh Church Act of 1914.
