WREXHAM (WelshGwrecsam, in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle Wrighlesham)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 846 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WREXHAM (WelshGwrecsam, in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle Wrighlesham) , a market town and parliamentary and municipal borough of Denbighshire, N. Wales, 11 m. S.S.W. of Chester, with stations on the
Great
  Western railway, and on the
Great
  Central railway, 202 M. from London. Pop. (1901) 14,966. " One of the seven wonders of Wales " is St Giles's church, of the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, with a panelled tower of several stages erected between 15o6 and 1520, and containing ten famous bells cast (1726) by Rudhall; the interior is Decorated, and has two monuments by Roubilliac to the Myddletons. Wrexham is the seat of the Roman Catholic
bishop
  of Menevia, whose diocese includes all Wales except Glamorganshire. The endowed free school was established in 1603. The markets and fairs are good, and the ales, mills (corn and
paper
 ) and tanneries locally famous. Brymbo
Hall
 , in the neighbourhood, is said to have been built from a
design
  by Inigo Jones, as were probably Gwydyr chapel (1633) and the Conwy
bridge
  (1636), both at Llanrwst. Erddig
Hall
  was noted for its Welsh MSS. Near Wrexham, but in a detached portion of Flintshire, to the S.E., is Bangor-is-coed (Bangor yn Maelor), the site of the most ancient monastery in the kingdom, founded before 18o; some 1200 monks were slain here by 7Ethelfrith of Northumbria, who also spoiled the monastery. Bangor-is-coed was probably Antoninus's Bovium, and the Banchorium of Richard of Cirencester. Wrightesham was of Saxon origin, and lying E. of Offa's Dyke, was yet reckoned in Mercia. It was given (with Bromfield and Yale, or Idl) by Edward I. to
Earl
  Warenne.
