St Silin's Church in Llansilin is a stunning 15th century church in the Perpendicular style, carefully restored in the 19th century. Most of the current church is from the 15th ceentury but there a small aspects of 13th century construction and the site has been occupied by a religious building for far longer. Thought to be from an earlier rood screen, a few roof timbers in the vestry feature carved plants and vines. One particularly striking timber features a pair of ornately carved wyverns, winged beasts with bared teeth not unlike dragons. The walls of the double nave feature several ornate monuments and hatchments. One notable plaque is to the late 17th and early 18th century politician William Williams. A local man, Williams was a Tory and supposed Jacobite and dominated the politics of North Wales during his time.
