St. Peter's Church. The nave and chancel with the chancel arch and south doorway are 13th century. Of the 15th century are the chancel windows and priest's doorway and the west tower with a plain parapet and tiny embattled NE stair turret. The large south porch is probably 16th century, and the window west of it is perhaps 17th century. The church and the surrounding dwellings were the original Henllys village. The village as we know it now was (as recorded in the old maps) called Dorallt. It was only after the introduction of industrialisation and the erection of workers cottages -New Row, Old Row, Four Houses and Bellevue Tce that it became known as Henllys . |
