Llancillo Church

Llancillo Church (also spelled Llancilo) is a Grade II*-listed redundant church in Herefordshire, England, near the Welsh border at grid reference SO36622557.[1][2]

Situated amongst trees and fields,[3] it was dedicated to Saint Peter and alternatively to St Tysilio.[4] The church was built in the 11th century and has been revised and restored since, including a Victorian restoration in the 1890s.

It contains a font from the 13th century and 17th century pulpit. One of the bells is believed to have been cast in the 13th century or earlier.
