Ancient Parishes of Flintshire

WalesFlintshire Ancient Parishes

The following are the original, ancient, parishes which were in the historic county of Flintshire which was abolished in 1974.

It the late 19th century and the early 20th century, as the population increased in many parishes, they were sub-divided into new parishes.

These parishes are now in one of the following counties:

• the modern Flintshire
• the modern Denbighshire
• the County Borough of Wrexham, Wales Genealogy

Not that the historic county of Flintshire bears little resemblance to the modern county of Flintshire which was formed in 1996!
