St Eurgain and St Peter's Church & The Red Lion
Image: © Sue Adair Taken: 8 May 2008
There has been evidence of a church in Northop since the 6th century. Eurgain, niece of St Asaph founded the church here on a Celtic mound, the Welsh name for Northop, Llaneurgain, means "Holy enclosure of Eurgain". A stone church was erected in the 12th century, with the 98ft tower completed in 1571. This present building was extensively rebuilt in 1840. The Red Lion is presently closed, leaving only one pub (The Boot) open in the village.
