Description
St Tysilio's Church, on Church Island in the Menai Strait, is a 15th Century church dedicated to the Celtic Saint Tysilio. It is reached by following the path from the Menai Bridge to the Belgian Promenade, a walkway that was constructed by Belgian refugees during the first World War. The Promenade joins up with the causeway that connects the island to the mainland. A short and winding path leads under the overhanging branches of a large yew tree to the old oak church door. A plaque above the door states that the church was founded in the 7th Century by St Tysilio, but it seems to be accepted that the present church was built in the 1400's. No one knows who built the present church but it is a lovely little stone building with a grand front door
