Wrexham Dissenters Burial Ground
Wrexham, Wrexham, Wales
This ground originally part of the common fields of Wrexham Regis and was for over two centuries used as a burial ground by Wrexham Dissenters. It was acquired about 1655 by the congregation gathered and ministered to by Morgan Llwyd O Wynedd 1619-1652. He was the author of 'Llyfr y Tri Aderyn' and other Welsh classics, and he himself lies buried here after his death.
The ground was maintained by the old meeting (now Chester Street Baptist church) successors to Morgan Llwyd's congregation by whose consent members of other dissenting bodies also used it for burial.
It was officially closed in 1888 but a few later burials were permitted, the last being in 1901.
In 1960 the ground was acquired by the corporation and laid out as a park for the use of the borough and in commemoration of one of its distinguished sons.
