Standing on the slopes of Llantysilio Mountain, the large 13th-century Parish Church of St Tysilio in the heart of the village is, surprisingly, connected with the amily who helped to found Yale University in the United States. Close to the village lies Plas-Yn-Yale, the former home of the Yale family and the birthplace of Elihu Yale’s father. Elihu himself was born in 1647 in Boston, Masachusetts, and went on to become a governor of India before returning to England. Known for his philanthropy, Elihu was approached by an American College who,after receiving generous help, named their new college in Newhaven after him. In 1745, 24 years after his death, the whole establishment was named Yale University. Elihu Yale is buried in the Church of St Giles in Wrexham.
