Bangor-on-Dee history

---

A monastery was established at Bangor in about AD 560 by Saint Dunod (or Dunawd) and was an important religious centre in the 5th and 6th centuries. The monastery was destroyed in about 613 by the Anglo-Saxon king Æthelfrith of Northumbria after he defeated the Welsh armies at the Battle of Chester. A number of monks transferred to Bardsey Island and appear among lists of saints. Today no trace of the monastery remains and even its site is uncertain.

Bangor-on-Dee etymology

The anglicised name refers to the village’s proximity to the River Dee. The older Welsh name, Bangor-is-y-Coed, literally means “Bangor” Bangor is a settlement with a wattle enclosure “below the wood”
