The Church of St Tysilio and St Mary in Meifod is said to be the centre of early Welsh Christianity. The first church on this site was founded in 550, dedicated to Saint Gwyddfarch. Little remains of this first church today. The current church was built by Madog ap Meredudd, whose is said to be buried buried in the four acre church yard. Aspects of this church date from every era since its construction after the Norman conquest and the result is an eclectic mix of styles.
