Accessibility:

At the church, there are several entrances to the churchyard which faces the village pub. One has a level entrance but the one to the west of the church, where there is roadside parking, has a step. The main entrance to the church is at the west end and has a steep ramp where concrete has been used to remove the gradient from a step. There is another entrance by the porch on the south side of the church, but the entrance door there has a step. Once inside the nave area is level. There are steps from the nave up to the chancel. Guide dogs are welcome.

Brief Description:

The church was built in 1282 and a second nave was added about 1450. In 1789 the stone arches between the naves were replaced by oak ones, that are still standing today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Garmon%27s_Church,_Llanarmon-yn-I%C3%A2l "The church dates from 1282; a second nave was added about 1450. Much of the church was rebuilt in 1736. Around that time, Edward Whetnall, a carpenter from Wrexham, replaced the stone arcade between the two naves with an arcade in timber. In 1759 a gallery was built at the west end of the south nave, and it was extended in 1781. It is likely that the porch was enlarged in 1774. In 1870 the church was restored by John Douglas, adding some Gothic-style windows and bracing to the colonnade. The box pews were also removed, and it is likely that the gallery was removed at this time. There were further restorations in 1906, in the late 1920s, and in the 1970s Inside the church is a baluster font dated 1734 and a pulpit which has been attributed to Douglas. The brass chandelier dates from the 15th or early 16th century, and contains a figure of the Virgin Mary in a canopy. Two of the monuments date from the early 14th century and another is dated 1639. The Royal Arms date from 1740."
