Ancient Parishes of Denbighshire

WalesHistoric Denbighshire Parishes

The following are the original, ancient, parishes which were in the historic county of Denbighshire which was formed in 1535 and 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 Denbighshire
 * the County Borough of Wrexham
 * the County Borough of Conwy
 * the County of Powys

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