Your Story: The Chapel of St Trillo on the Shore |
 |
In the 6th Century the area between the sea and the present Penrhyn Avenue was an island. The golf course was the estuary of the Afon Ganol and a marshy channel from the Afon ran into the sea by the Rhos Point. It has been suggested that a small ‘haven’ may have existed against the hill on which the Llandrillo Parish Church now stands. There is a reference to ships "lying under the Llandrillo Church".
Sometime in the middle of the 6th Century St Trillo, whose family came from Brittany, landed on the foreshore of what is now Rhos on Sea. He established his ‘Cell’ here and enclose a plot of land so that today the area is known as the ‘Llan’ of ‘Trillo’ or ‘Llandrillo-yn-Rhos’.
