16th Century St Trillo's Chapel at Rhos on Sea North Wales Coast
This is dedicated to the two nice ladies I met.
Hope you have found this video, now follows information about it.
Take a peek inside this tiny, single-storey chapel by the sea.
Is this the smallest church in Britain? With seats for just six people, it may well be a contender for the title.
Dating to the early 16th century, the chapel may have been built on the site of an older church on the orders of the Cistercian monks at Aberconwy Abbey.
In 1935 the chapel was carefully restored and re-consecrated by William Thomas Havard, Bishsop of St Asaph.
The chapel is dedicated to St Trillo, an early saint from the 6th century with connections to the area.
The altar stands over a natural spring, thought to have been an ancient holy well, from which water has been used for baptisms in the parish.

Rhos-on-Sea, also known as Rhos or Llandrillo, is a seaside resort, community and electoral ward in Conwy County Borough, Wales. It adjoins Colwyn Bay. It is named after the Welsh kingdom of Rhos established there in late Roman times as a sub-kingdom of Gwynedd, and later became a cantref .
Bryn Euryn is a hill overlooking Rhos-on-Sea on which there are the remains of a hillfort called Dinerth, the 'fort of the bear', and a limestone quarry. Ednyfed Fychan, 13th century seneschal to Llywelyn the Great and ancestor to the House of Tudor was granted the land and built a castle on the hill, of which all traces have disappeared, and a manor, Llys Euryn of which the ruins of its 15th-century reconstruction can be seen today.
The 6th century St Trillo's Chapel (Capel Sant Trillo), which was the mother church of a large parish which included places as far apart as Eglwysbach and Eglwys Rhos (Llan Rhos). The chapel by the sea is on the site of a pre-Christian, sacred holy well; the altar is built directly over the pure water of the well. Saint Trillo, the son of Ithel Hael from Llydaw (Snowdonia) also founded a church at Llandrillo in Denbighshire. Trillo's brother Tygai (Llandygai) founded a church near Penrhyn, Bangor; their sister Llechid founded a church (Llanllechid) in the uplands above Penrhyn.
The poet and visual artist David Jones visited Rhos-on-Sea in 1904 when he was 9. It was his first ever trip to Wales and it made an enormous impression on him. His father's family lived in Rhos, and the young Jones played with his cousins at St. Trillo's Chapel, and on Bryn Euryn. He also particularly loved the fishing weir just a few yards from St. Trillos. These were formative influences both on his writing and visual art. He wrote that this visit left 'an indelible mark on my soul'. In 1937, after the death of his mother, Jones revisited Rhos. He found it a 'wilderness of villas and bungalows'. The fishing weir had gone (there remain a few stumps), and the chapel was now 'cleared and cared for', but it had 'lost half its numinous feeling'.
Llandrillo yn Rhos Church was built on the site of Ednyfed Fychan's private chapel and incorporates what was his tombstone, the history of this church goes back to the 13th century, but having been rebuilt over the centuries, the oldest parts of the present church are 15th century. A major restoration was carried out in 1857 and was criticised by some for amounting to 'vandalism', in particular the destruction of an ancient stained glass window. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most important historic buildings in North Wales. The stone lych-gate was built in 1677 and is one of the oldest in the district, the sundial is from the early 18th century.
In 1186 Llywelyn the Great permitted the establishment of the Cistercian Aberconwy Abbey, and the monks built a fishing weir on the sea shore below Bryn Euryn. The place became known as Rhos Fynach, heath of the monks. In a charter of 1230, Llywelyn sanctioned the purchase by Ednyfed Fychan of land at Rhos Fynach and in 1289, the abbey moved to Maenan (becoming Maenan Abbey), and the weir was ceded to Ednyfed's estate. Eventually Rhos Fynach and the weir came into the hands of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, who in 1575 granted it to a Captain Morgan ap John ap David, a privateer, for services rendered against the enemies of Queen Elizabeth I at sea. (This is not the famous pirate of the Caribbean Captain Henry Morgan who lived in the century following).
Perhaps Rhos-on-Sea's greatest claim to fame is that, according to legend, Madog ap Owain Gwynedd, a Welsh prince of Gwynedd, sailed from here in 1170 and discovered America, over three hundred years before Christopher Columbus's famous voyage in 1492. This event is recorded by a plaque on one of the properties on the sea-front. This property is called Odstone at no. 179, Marine Drive which, as of June 2012, has become neglected.

V-log 23: Pilgrimage to Rhos-on-Sea and Llandudno
I go on a short walking pilgrimage in honour of Sts. Trillo and St. Tudno. Both lived in the 6th century and were instrumental in the evangelisation of North Wales.
St. Trillo was a Breton who sailed to Wales and set up his hermitage on an island just off the northern coast. The island is now part of the mainland but his chapel - probably much rebuilt - remains.
St. Tudno was one of the seven sons of King Seithenyn, whose legendary kingdom Cantref y Gwaelod in Cardigan Bay was submerged by tidal activity. According to the legends, Tudno turned to God in order to make recompense for the drunken incompetence of his father, which had led to the loss of the kingdom under the waves. He set up his hermitage on the slopes of the Great Orme above the town of Llandudno which was named after him.
On my pilgrimage I walked from St. Trillo's Chapel - the UK's smallest church - to St. Tudno's Church via Penrhyn Bay, the Little Orme, Llandudno and the Great Orme.

This video is of St Clether chapel and holy well. You can only get there by walking from St Clether church. The chapel is by itself in a very nice green part of Bodmin moor. There is a chapel (a new roof was put on in 2010) which is ancient with an ancient well next to it. They are both always open. The church of St Clether is open between 10:00-5:00 every day and while you are there you should have a look at that. To here the piano being played in St Clether church go on to the web link below:
