Stansty

Lower Stansty, or Plas Coch as it is now more commonly referred to, is partly within the neighbouring community of Rhosddu, south of the A483.

[2] Along with those of some other places in this area of north-east Wales, the name of Stansty may have an Old English rather than Welsh root, perhaps from stan ("stone") with another element, possibly -stig or -stigu ("path, or "sty").

Stansty Issa was given to the Abbot of Valle Crucis Abbey by Gruffydd ap Madoc, Prince of Powys, in 1254.

However, the park's highly elaborate wrought-iron gates, attributed to the Davies brothers of Wrexham, had been rescued and moved to Erddig Hall in 1908.

Plas Coch played an important part in the social life of the city, hosting the Denbighshire & Flintshire Agricultural Society Show and the Annual Wrexham Lager Festival.

The only part of the original property remaining today is a short length of stone wall at the roadside in front of a branch of The Range.

[12] In 1995 further construction work on the site revealed traces of Roman field boundaries, hearths and a corn drying kiln.
