Yet another church looking unloved, under utilised and under an uncertain future.

Plas yn Dinas, Llanfechain

This is rather an upmarket pub for a small village where the emphasis is on food and the menu is certainly several notches above standard pub grub. The building was originally a courthouse probably dating from the 16th century - the name translates literally into English as 'City Halls'.

Llanfechain Church

The church is dedicated to Garmon, a 9th century Celtic saint who is believed to have been the first Bishop of Man; it is said that a mound in the churchyard was used by Garmon for preaching. Parts of the building date from the 13th century and it is grade II* listed.
