The 13th century Welsh church of St Trillo in the ancient parish of Llandrillo-yn-Rhos dating from1254.
The 13th century Welsh church of St Trillo in the ancient parish of Llandrillo-yn-Rhos dating from 1254 lies in the extreme north-west corner of Denbighshire North Wales. St. Trillo's church was mentioned in the Norwich Taxation of 1254. It was whitewashed, to serve as a landmark for ships at sea. It is a double-naved structure with a west tower, the north nave the earlier with a blocked 13thC arcade to a former aisle or chapel, and the south nave and tower both added at a later date; there is however disagreement on the precise sequence and date. Internally the blocked arcade is visible, there is a fine late Perpendicular arcade between the naves, and a fairly simple arch-braced roof to the south nave. Internal fittings of pre-19thC date are few: an early font and a 14thC sepulchral slab are the only medieval survivals. The churchyard has been enlarged on several occasions, but there may be an original sub-oval enclosure here. It contains a good range of 18thC and even earlier churchyard memorials and a 17thC lychgate.
