Gresford

This former coal mining town was the site of the Gresford Colliery Disaster in 1934, which killed 266 men. The colliery closed in 1973, but the wheel remains in memory of those who lost their lives in this terrible disaster. The town’s Parish Church of All Saints is one of the finest in Wales with notable medieval screens, stained glass, font and misericords, and a memorial to the mining disaster; it is also home to the famous Gresford Bells, one of the Seven Wonders of Wales, which are still rung every Tuesday evening and on Sundays. Visitors approaching the church by the south gate pass some impressive yew trees. The oldest tree is said to be more than 1600 years old; the others were planted in 1726.
