   Question for a quiet day on the forum, (sorry Yorkie, it's another church!). Where in North Wales would you find this pretty village church?  It has connections with an old-established association and has a display inside to commemorate the link.

It's the Church of St John the Baptist, Yspyty Ifan.  In the 12th century, the Knights of St John established a place of worship and hospice more or less on the site of the present church.

              Well done Cambrian. There is a display inside depicting the Knights of St.John who were the forefathers of the St.John's Ambulance Association (see attached pics) and they provided shelter and help to anyone who was attacked by the "brigands and bandits" who frequented the area in olden days. Yspyty Ifan translates as "Hospice of John".

St Johns Church,, Ysbyty Ifan,  found it just before the extra clues.    ZXZ  but not in time to be first.

Good one Gwynant    $good$

Those brigands and bandits also sought sanctuary there, as once they were there the law couldn't touch them.
