St Giles' Parish Church (Welsh: Eglwys San Silyn) is the parish church of Wrexham, Wales. The church is recognised as one of the finest examples of ecclesiastical architecture in Wales and is a Grade I listed building, described by Sir Simon Jenkins as 'the glory of the Marches'[1] and by W. D. Caröe as a “glorious masterpiece.”[2]

The iconic 16th-century tower rises to a height of 41 m (136 feet)[3] and is a local landmark that can be seen for many miles around. It forms one of the 'Seven Wonders of Wales'.

We will visit St Giles' in the centre of Wrexham and have a tour around this historical building, and then spend the rest of the day in Wrexham (Wrexham Market is a 2  minute walk from St Giles').

Various pick up times.
