  GENUKI : Flintshire, Bistre, Emmanuel
The new parish of Bistre was established in its own right on 23 May 1844, by combining most of the township of Bistre with part of the township of Argoed - both had been in the parish of Mold until that time.
Bistre now forms part of the modern town of Buckley, which developed rapidly during the nineteeth century, straddling the boundary between the ancient parishes of Mold and Hawarden.
By the mid-nineteenth century, the population of the Bistre and Argoed districts of the parish of Mold was increasing rapidly; a new church was consecrated on 25 October 1842 by the Bishop of St. Asaph, to serve these areas, which were some distance from the parish church in Mold.

It was boiled in water, and, when it had been allowed to settle to some extent but was still hot, the clearer part was separated from the sediment and the fluid evaporated, leaving a fine pigment of a warm, deep transparent brown.
Bistre was used only in water colour painting, for asphaltum provided a similar transparent brown in oils.
Bistre may have been superior to asphaltum as a water colour, although it was not altogether easy to use, its slightly resinous character making it difficult to work with and mix with other colours.
