The most striking part of the building is the fifteenth century carved oak hammer beam roof which is thought to have links with the monks at Valle Crucis Abbey. It is what we got in Wales while Michelangelo was working in Rome! It is believed to be the finest roof in Wales! There are fascinating depiction of beasts, flora and fauna and even an amusing story of 'the man who drank too much beer'! The oldest part of the church is the twelfth century vestry door which still has peepholes dating back to when those fleeing from the law would appear on the doorstep of the church and formally request sanctuary. The Ladies of Llangollen, Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, famous for their romantic friendship, are buried in our churchyard and have a memorial plaque in the south aisle of the church. Gruffudd Hiraethog was one of the foremost poets of the sixteenth century. He compiled a Welsh dictionary with quotations from the works of the bards to illustrate their meanings. He was born in Llangollen and is also buried in the vault. Joy & laughter is at the heart of the spiritual life for this church: St Collen’s has its own performing troupe called The Collen Players who put on regular Music Hall & Variety shows in their community hall. .
