St Saeran's Church is a fascinating church situated in the heart of the Vale of Clwyd. A church is believed to have been founded as early as the 6th Century here and supported a community or perhaps monastery, although the site may have served earlier Celtic purposes. Today the oldest feature of the structure is a 13th Century door on the western elevation.The double naved church is surprisingly large, which hints at its former regional importance to the Bishops of Bangor. Unique to this church, a 15th Century wall painting of St Christopher carrying Christ across a river is a rare medieval find. Other ancient treasures include a tomb effigy of a Bishop and a hexagonal stone perhaps representing St Saeran.St Saeran's benefited from a £2.5 million restoration/preservation program between 2013 and 2015.

A beautifully historic church. Ensure you look up at all the sculptures on the roof trusses are amazing.The history is staggering & the ancient St Christopher is something to behold.
