Parish church
Sellack is a village in the Wye Valley, 3 miles NW of Ross-on-Wye. The village is a small settlement on the S bank of the river, consisting of a few houses and the church. St Tysilio’s has a narrow nave and chancel in one; the nave with a S porch and a 3-bay N aisle. The W bay of the nave arcade is 12thc, while the other two bays open onto a broad transept. This was added in the 14thc and rebuilt in a restoration by George Pearson of 1841-42. There is a 13thc N chapel, entered from the chancel and the nave aisle through a broad 13thc arches, and a modern vestry to the E of the chapel. The only Romanesque feature is the W bay of the N arcade.
