Landmark 81 Church of St Mary, Denbighshire Betws Gwerful Goch is one of the "ancient parishes" of Merioneth. It has been said that, from the churchyard, it is possible to throw a stone into the parishes of Corwen, Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr, and Gwyddelwern. The first recorded reference to the church was in 1254, but it is likely that there had been a church on the same site for perhaps centuries earlier. The church was restored in 1882. Landmark 82 was not a landmark, it was a question about this church, "How many counties has it been in?" The answer: the church was in Merioneth until 1974; and in Clwyd from 1974 until 1996. It is now in "new" Denbighshire, so three.
