CMA: Records of Trinity English Presbyterian Church, Llay, Wrexham

The fonds comprises a register of baptisms, 1961-1967, account book, 1962-1969, and ministry collection book, 1946-1969, of Trinity English Presbyterian Church, Llay, Wrexham.

In 1921 land was gifted to the Forward Movement of the Presbyterian Church of Wales by the Llay Main Colliery Company in order to erect a place of worship. In November of the same year a workman's hut was purchased where services and a Sunday School were held during the following months. Trinity Church officially opened its doors on 23 November 1922. Welsh services and a separate Welsh Sunday School were held at the Trinity Schoolroom prior to the opening of Glanaber in 1925.
By the late 1960s, however, due to a declining membership, it was decided that the congregations of both Forward Movement Churches, namely Trinity and Glanaber, would worship in Glanaber. Trinity Church was sold in 1969.

Arranged at NLW into three files: register of baptisms, account book and ministry collection book.
