## St Hilery Church, Wrexham

St. Hilary's Church, situated above the north bank of the River Dee in Erbistock, was built in 1860-61


### Overview

St. Hilary's Church, situated above the north bank of the River Dee in Erbistock, was built in 1860-61 as a memorial to Henry Ellis Boates of Rose Hill, possibly on the site of a medieval church. 

The architect remains unknown. The church, designed in Gothic-Revival style with Decorated and Early English elements, features red sandstone ashlar, a slate roof, and red ridge tiles. It comprises a nave and aisles under one roof, a polygonal apse, a south porch, a north vestry, and a west triple bellcote. 

Inside, the nave arcade has red sandstone with carved capitals and granite piers. The chancel arch has corbels with granite shafts, leading to a chancel with cusped windows and granite shafts. The nave has a timber scissor-braced roof, while the chancel has ribbed stone corbels. Notable fittings include a Caen stone pulpit, an octagonal font, and an 18th-century chandelier. 

A disused font bowl may date back to the Norman period.
