History[edit | edit source]

Worthenbury (Welsh: Wrddymbre) is a village and ecclesiastical parish in the Wrexham in Wales. It is part of the community of Willington-Worthenbury.

Before 1974 the village was in the historic county of Flintshire and, between 1974 and 1996 in the County of Clwyd. In 1996 it became part of the modern County Borough of Wrexham.

Worthenbury was originally chapelry in the parish of Bangor is y Coed. In 1658, during the Commonwealth Period, it became a parish in its own right, however, in 1661, following the Restoration, this was declared invalid. In 1689, Sir Roger Puleston, of the Puleston family of Emral Hall, long-associated with the area, obtained an Act of Parliament and Worthenbury became a separate parish again.

Until 1541 the parish was in the English Diocese of Lichfield, when it was transferred to the newly created English Diocese of Chester. In 1849, it was transferred to the Welsh Diocese of St. Asaph, where it remains today.
