No. 5
[edit]No. 5 is a Grade II listed building located on the south side of Town Hill, adjacent to the Church Street junction. The building forms a single build with No. 7, with which the two may have originally formed a single larger property. No. 5 was built as a house, likely in the early 16th-century, with the building divided into No. 5 and No. 7 in c. 1800, while a rear range was added or rebuilt in c. 1900.[12]
Its exterior is render over a timber frame, while its rear wing is made of brick, and both have slate roofs. There is square panel framing on the upper gable wall, which was exposed when the adjacent property was demolished. The building is two-storeys tall, with a two-window range. Its shop front was inserted in 1927 and was made by Pollard of London. There are some traces of the building's original timber framed structure visible from its first floor.
No. 7
[edit]No. 7 is a Grade II* listed building located on th south side of Town Hill. It is part of a continuous set of buildings, with the burgages stretching towards College Street at their rear. The building was likely built as a house, but later was converted for commercial use. It is of the late medieval era, with its rear wing forming the oldest part as it was a cruck-framed open hall. The building originally also included No. 5, but the two were subdivided in c. 1800. A cross-wing forms its street front, which was likely added (or as part of a remodelling) in the early 16th century, and now contains a 20th century shop front. Its exterior is timber-framed, and it has a slate roof.[13]
Dodman's
[edit]Dodman's (No. 9) is a Grade II listed building located on th south side of Town Hill. It is part of a continuous set of buildings,with the plot stretching towards College Street at their rear. The building was likely built as a house, but later was converted for commercial use, while it housed workshops in its rear wing. It is likely of either the late 16th or early 17th centuries, and is two-storeys. It was refronted in the early 19th century, while its shop front was inserted in the late 19th century and since been renewed, and has a central doorway. Its exterior is a render over brick, while its rear is timber-framed, and has slate roofs.[14]
Town Hall (1713–1940)
[edit]The Town Hall was a
The Shire Hall had stood on the same site since the reign of Henry VIII (16th century). It was used as a Magistrates' court and a meeting place.[15][16]
In 1583, Richard Gwyn, a Catholic priest (now a martyr) was held in the black chamber of the previous hall until his execution. It is also claimed that Charles I made a speech at the hall addressed to Wrexham's population.[15]
In 1713, the Town Hall was built, replacing (or a rebuilding of) the previous old medieval hall. The new hall had two floors, an upper and lower floor, with the lower floor being open and containing nine shops, while the upper floor was used by magistrates.[15][16]
In c. 1834 the ground floor was enclosed between its pillars.[16] In 1852, a clock was presented to the town by local subscriptions to commemorate the marriage of Watkin Williams-Wynn, and was placed on the front elevation of the building.[15]
Prior to its demolition, the building had a "flourish[ing]" bonded warehouse, which raised concerns just weeks before the building's demolition. The first floor of the building was a "fine chamber", which hosted many courts over the years, but in its final years was home to the Wrexham Billiad Hall. The lower floor was a open sided market, a custom of many halls of the period, still having the nine shops.[16]
There was a licensed premises Town Hall Vaults,
It was demolished in 1940, to help alleviate traffic issues and congestion,[15] particularly with High Street, as at the time, it served as Wrexham's bus terminal to Chester, Llangollen and nearby villages. The commemorative clock was relocated to Lord Street, overlooking the (new) Wrexham bus station.[16]
Wrexham's old town hall was located at the junction between Town Hill, High Street, and Hope Street.[15][16]
