5) Gresford Bells
August 31, 2008
Gresford Bells (All Saints Church), Gresford.
Sadly the vicar wasn't around, so I couldn't actually go and see the bells - you'll have to imagine what eight bells, weighing 4.7 tonnes in total, look like. The first church was built here in the 13th century and has been modified a number of times after. There is a giant yew tree in the grounds, that was apparently planted in 400AD.
There's a nice pub just across from the church, called the Yew Inn. I would have sampled some of the local beers, but I was driving.
