Whitewell (Welsh pronunciationⓘ) is a dispersed rural settlement, and surrounding ecclesiastical parish, in the community of Bronington, in the east of Wrexham County Borough, Wales.

[1] A 1657 visitation referred to it as the "Chappell of Whitewell" and suggested it be made a separate parish church, given its distance from Malpas and two fords across the "river of Elfe [and] another dangerous brooke".

Whitewell was finally made a parish in its own right in 1885, at which time its parishioners elected to stay part of the Diocese of Chester.

The White Well, the well or spring from which the settlement takes its name, possibly a holy well associated with the church site, is located south of the churchyard.

Lee noted that the Domesday Book recorded many church land holdings in the area, suggested a link with the monastery at Bangor-on-Dee and speculated that the pre-1829 chapel had been Anglo-Saxon in origin.

[14] Whitewell Parish Hall is grade II listed and along with the rectory is in the style of John Douglas, although not previously attributed to him.
