There has been a Church at Llandrinio since the 6th Century. When it was first built it was dedicated to St. Trinio but, in 1309, King Edward II granted a concession to the village allowing an annual 3 day fair (centred around The Boat House) on the festivals of St. Peter and St. Paul (28th, 29th and 30th June). People came from near and far to buy and sell their wares and, from that time, the Church became known as St. Trinio, St. Peter and St.Paul. The Fair made Llandrinio an important area, resulting in a busy and bustling economy. The construction of the bridge put an end to the Fairs although the agricultural economy improved as a result. 
The Church is a single-chambered structure, retaining architectural features from the Norman period through to the 20th Century. Internally, it has a couple of fragments from one or more early medieval slabs, a Norman font (although one school of thought believes it could be earlier Anglo-Saxon), a limited amount of 17th Century woodwork and a West gallery with painted benefaction boards. The Church bell commemorates the restoration of Charles II and bears the loyal inscription “1661 Rergcns God Save The King”. The Holy Communion Plate dates back to 1680 and the Registers to 1662. 
The Churchyard is irregular in shape, part of an earlier and even larger sanctuary which was thought to spread over 5 acres. The entrance to the Churchyard is via the Lych Gate, a timber structure resting on a stonewall base. It was erected to mark the death of Queen Victoria and bears the inscription “AD 1837 Victoria RI AD 1901” on the road side and, when leaving the Churchyard, you are sent away with the message “Bless Thy Going Out And Thy Coming In”. Next to the Lych Gate stands the village’s War Memorial listing the names of those from the area who fell in the Two Great Wars.
