St Tysilio and St Mary's Church

The Church of St Tysilio and St Mary stands in a large churchyard in the centre of Meifod, a small village 7 mile north-west of Welshpool. The earliest church on the site is attributed to Gwyddfarch, a hermit and tutor to Tysilio, who is reputed to have founded the second church. The present church dates from the 12th century, although it incorporates many elements of the earlier building and was much later much altered and extended; the doorway is 14th-century, the tower dates to the 15th and the font is of the 17th century. In the 19th century a major restoration was undertaken by Benjamin Ferrey.

St Tysilio and St Mary's consists of a combined nave and chancel, a western tower, and north and south aisles. The churchyard is unusually large, extending to nine acres. The Church of St Tysilio and St Mary is as a Grade I listed building. Its Cadw listing record describes it as a "very important medieval church with much of interest and historical significance".
