About Stansty
What are the main landmarks in Stansty?
The list here is short. Gatewen Hall round barrow and Berse Drelincourt Church are the two named sites the record gives Stansty, and between them they cover the ward's oldest ground and its church-going one. A round barrow is a burial mound, so the older layer is prehistoric.
Anything on a larger scale sits in the city of Wrexham, with the ward lying immediately north-west of it.
What is the history of Stansty?
Stansty was a township first. The civil parish and the township are both former, and the name survives as an electoral ward of Wrexham County Borough Council on the north-western side of Wrexham. Gatewen Hall round barrow marks a far older occupation of this ground.
Berse Drelincourt Church came much later, and the two together are most of what the record keeps for the ward inside Wales.
