Plas Coch was built in the late 16th century of mature hand-made red brick, hence the name “Plas Coch” The house was built for Sir William Meredith, one of the sons of Richard Meredith of Allington or Trevalyn (near Rossett) and treasurer and paymaster of the army in the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. Sadly the house and outbuildings were demolished in the 1980s to make way for a large supermarket and retail development.
