The Wrexham parish church of St Giles is one of the finest examples of ecclesiastical architecture to be found in Wales.

Documentary evidence exists of a church on the current site as early as the 11th century, although the building in its present form is probably the third church to be built on the site, and dates back to the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The construction of the tower, which is 135 feet high, was completed in 1506, but the decorations and embellishments were probably not completed until 1518.

The church is dedicated to the patron saint of St Giles, although it may have been dedicated formerly to the Celtic saint Silin or Silyn.
