Llay Places Overview: History, Culture & Facts about Llay

Llay history

---

Llay first appears in mediaeval records as a hamlet – a small settlement without a church – of the township and manor of Burton. It later formed an outlying part of the parish of Gresford, but the relatively late growth of the village is shown by the fact that the first church service was not held there until 1916. Llay was eventually made a separate parish in its own right in 1944.
