Llantysilio

Situated on the banks of the River Dee, the Parish Church of St Tysilio is a 14th century building whose treasures include a medieval roof, some 15th century glass and a medieval oak eagle lectern. Back in 1866, while holidaying in Llangollen, the poet Robert Browning worshipped, and a brass plaque placed by Lady Martin commemorates his visit. Lady Martin, also known as the actress Helena Faucit, lived in the house next to the church. She, too, is remembered at the church by a chapel that was built following her death in 1898. In 1885, she published a book called On Some of Shakespeare’s Female Characters, which was popular in its day.

At the foot of the hill on which the church stands is Thomas Telford’s Horseshoe Weir, which was built in 1806 to supply water to the Llangollen Canal.
