Llancillo Church

Llancillo Church is a Grade II*-listed former church in Herefordshire, England, near the Welsh border at grid reference SO36622557.

It is thought that the remote site was first used by a hermit in the 6th century but that the current chancel dates from the 11th century and the rest of the church was substantially rebuilt in the 17th century. Situated amongst trees and fields, it was dedicated to Saint Peter. There is a Tudor doorway and, inside, a 13th-century baptismal font. In the churchyard are the remains of a medieval preaching cross.

On 22 December 2006, the building was closed for regular public worship and passed to the Friends of Friendless Churches to maintain and restore.

The church lies on the Walterstone ley line described by Alfred Watkins in his book, The Old Straight Track.
