Llandrinio Parish Church is recorded as St. Trinio's Church, and as St. Peter and St. Paul's Church. The original foundation was traditionally dedicated to the 5th century Welsh saint, St. Trinio. St. Peter and St. Paul were first associated with Llandrinio in the 14th century when Edward II granted the village a fair on 29th June, coincidentally the feast day of St. Peter and St. Paul as well as St. Trinio.

The current building dates back to the 12th century, but is likely to have replaced an earlier wooden structure. The church has had additions and restorations taken place in almost every century. Built from red and yellow sandstone, with a slate roof and part-timber bell turret, the church consists of a continuous nave and chancel, with bell tower above the western end, a south porch and sloping buttresses to the south wall.

The paving of the south porch includes 9th and 17th century, including pulpit and sanctuary rail. The bell is dated 1661. Opposite the south porch is a sundial dated 1825. Wall paintings are evidenced only by payments to named painters of texts in 18th century church wardens’ accounts.
