Tysul built a [church](/source/church_building) in [Llandyssil](/source/Llandyssil), [Powys](/source/Powys).<ref>[http://www.llandyssil.com/church.html  Llandyssil.com] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140813110254/http://www.llandyssil.com/church.html |date=2014-08-13 }}</ref> It was located on a hillside to the [south east](/source/south_east) of the [village](/source/village).<ref>[http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-7712-old-church-of-st-tyssil-llandyssil  Old Church Of Saint Tyssil].</ref> and today its remains are still within a roughly circular graveyard, which is still in use.

The south porch is the only surviving part of St. Tysul's church, which was replaced in 1866 by a new church on the north west side of the village. His church was renowned for its timber [belfry](/source/Belfry_(architecture)),<ref>Pickering, W., Archaeologia Cambrensis, 1904 pp.125–132; 269–272.</ref> and there was strong contemporary feeling against its demolition and replacement.<ref>Haslam R, ''(Powys), Buildings of Wales series'', 1979, p 126;</ref><ref>H.L.J, 'Llandyssul Church, [Montgomeryshire](/source/Montgomeryshire)' Archaeologia Cambrensis, Series iii, Vol. X, 1864, pp. 125–8</ref><ref>Montgomeryshire Genealogical Society, ''Parish of Llandyssil, [Parish Church](/source/Parish_Church) of St Tyssil, Bethesda [Presbyterian](/source/Presbyterian) Chapel, Moriah Presbyterian Chapel: Memorial Inscriptions'' (Montgomeryshire Genealogical Society, 1996).</ref><ref>PowysRichard Haslam [Yale University Press](/source/Yale_University_Press), 1 Jan 1979 [https://books.google.com/books?id=M4Afx2aoNicC&dq=Tyssil&pg=PA126 page 126].</ref><ref>Bartrum P C ''A Welsh Classical Dictionary: People in History and Legend up to about A.D. 1000'', National Library of Wales, 1993, 630.</ref>
