Overton, Wrexham War Memorial

The town of Overton, sometimes known as Overton on Dee, (Welsh: Owrtyn) is in the Maelor, the former exclave of Flintshire and now in the county borough of Wrexham.

The memorial, which is constructed of red Runcorn stone, stands in the High Street. A brass plaque commemorating those who fell during the Second World War was added later.
