Llandinam

St Llonio's Church is located north of the village, on a spur of land jutting into the Severn Valley, and within a fortified promontory fort.^[10] It was originally the mother church of those at Llanidloes and Llanwnnog, serving a monastery until the late 13th century.^[11] The church is thought to date from around AD 520.^[12] It was initially a clas structure. Its tower has a pyramidal slate roof over a timber belfry, dating from the 13th century.^[10] It is recorded as Ecclesia de Landinam in the Norwich Taxation of 1254 with a value of £1 6s 8d.^[12] The majority of the church was rebuilt in the 19th century, a restoration undertaken by George Edmund Street.^[10] The church still retains some original features, however, most notably the northern wall of the chancel.^[13] During the restoration, new windows were installed in a neo-Gothic style.^[13] The churchyard contains a number of old trees, principally oaks and yews, including one of the latter which is claimed to be around 800 years old.^[12] The churchyard contains the war graves of three Royal Welsh Fusiliers soldiers of World War I.^[14]

The church, which is a Grade II listed building,^[10] is in the Church in Wales parish of Bro Arwystli.^[15]

The bridge from the main road over towards Broneirion was the first cast iron bridge constructed in the county, designed by Thomas Penson and built by Davies 1846. It spans 90 feet (27.5 m). At the east end of the bridge there is a statue of David Davies.^[16]

The house that David Davies built, Broneirion, remains an elegant country mansion owned by Girlguiding Cymru.

Plâs Dinam was bought by David Davies for his son, Edward. Designed by William Eden Nesfield in 1873-1874, it is a Grade II* listed building.^[17] Its garden is listed at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.^[18]
