This Victorian reconstruction of an more modest earlier building is dedicated to Christiolus, a 7th century Welsh saint, although the name of the village, Eglwyswrw, is often translated as 'Wrw's church'. (However there may be an alternative explanation for the name, see Image) The saint's day, November 3, was traditionally celebrated in the parish.
