Wrexham

Wrexham is a populous market town, lying in the great road from Shrewsbury to Chester. The streets, crossing each other reciprocally at right angles, are spacious and the building in general good, particularly the High-street, where the weekly markets are lield; at the upper end of which is a handsome structure, of the Doric order, the upper apartment of which is used as a municipal hall and the piazza part below as a kind of diurnal mart. It

appears to have been a place of some antiquity, being well known to the Saxons by the name of Wrightesham. The country around is beautiful, which has induced many families to fix their residence in its neighbourhood. The church, formerly collegiate, the glory not only of the place, but of North Wales, may vie with many cathedrals. It is erected

on the scite of the former one, which was *::::: by fire, and exhibits a specimen of

design, proportion, and moderate decoration, per ps not surpassed, if equalled, by any

edifice built in the time of Henry VII. There are several monuments well worth the

attention of the curious, visiting the town; particularly the one to the memory of Mrs.
