Church of St Mary

St Mary's church, Minera According to an engraving on the church step, this church is 838 ft and 4 ins above sea level. The parish of Minera was created on 23 May 1844, from the townships of Minera and Esclusham Above, which until then had been in the parish of Wrexham. It is believed that there was a chapel of ease (to Wrexham) on the present site as early as 1577. Minera became a parish in its own right in 1844. The original Chapel was probably constructed of wood. It was reconstructed between 1728 and 1733. It was demolished in 1864, and a new Church was built in 1865, preserving the shape and interior of the old building. The new Church was opened in September 1866.
