Llangollen's church is not only dedicated to St Collen, it was founded by him. Collen was a 6th-century Irish warrior and religious figure who also lived for a time as a hermit on Glastonbury Tor, Somerset. Collen gave his name to the town of Llangollen ('llan' for a church enclosure, and 'gollen' for Collen). An image of Collen can be seen in one of the stained glass windows.

The church of St Michael and All Angels at Nannerch is at least the third to stand on this site. Though we know little of the first church, it was probably built of timber, with wattle infill. The second church was dedicated to St Mary, but in 1852 this was replaced by the current building, with a change of dedication to St Michael and All Angels.
