Northop Church from the Cricket Field
This church is well known as it can easily be seen from the A55 Expressway. The fine Tudor tower seems to somewhat overbalance the Victorian rebuild of the body of the church. On the left can be seen part of the sixteenth century Grammar School, said to be one of the oldest grammar school buildings in Wales.

St Eurgain and St Peter's Church & The Red Lion
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.
