Ysbyty Ifan: parish church of St. John Pictured in a horrid drizzle, St. John's church stands on the lane heading east from the village centre. A hostel had been set up here by the Knights of St. John in the late 12th century, the village being on the pilgrimage route to Holywell. The hostel was abolished in 1540 but the building remained as the parish church before being replaced by the current building in 1860.
