  Maelor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maelor was first divided from the rest of Wales by the construction of Offa's Dyke in the eighth century, but was reclaimed by Wales during the reign of Stephen of England.
In 1397, under Richard II of England, the English Maelor was merged with the County Palatine of Chester to form the Principality of Chester.
In 1974, both halves of the Maelor became part of the Wrexham Maelor district, which in 1996 became part of the county borough of Wrexham.

The eastern part of Maelor Saesneg appears to have formed part of a similarly extensive ecclesiastical district centred on the early church dedicated to St Oswald at Malpas, Cheshire, whose medieval parish included the township of Iscoyd to the north-east and whose deanery towards the end of the 13th century included the parish of Hanmer.
The only priest in Maelor Saesneg mentioned in the Domesday survey, however, is one with an endowment of land in the manor of Bettisfield (Bedesfeld), one of the townships of the ancient parish of Hanmer and probably signifying the existence of St Chad's church at Hanmer itself by that date.
By the Conquest period Maelor Saesneg lay within the diocese of Lichfield, a position it occupied apart from a the period between 1075-95 when it belonged to the short-lived diocese of Chester, until 1541 when it was transferred to the new diocese of Chester.

 Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust - Projects - Historic Landscapes - Maelor Saesneg - Agricultural Landscapes
The predominant land use of Maelor Saesneg at the present day is largely pastoral, though in recent years there has been a greater emphasis on arable farming in the eastern part of the area, resulting in some loss of boundaries to create larger fields.
Though probably not all of medieval date distribution of ridge and furrow in Maelor Saesneg is an indicator of the extent of arable cultivation that had evolved by the later medieval period, generally avoiding less fertile ground, the steeper stream and river slopes and land liable to flooding.
As in Cheshire, the relative lack of Parliamentary enclosure in Maelor Saesneg was evidently a consequence of the process of enclosure proceeding steadily between the 14th and 18th centuries, resulting in the fossilisation of former open fields represented by ridge and furrow and strip-like field shapes in the rural landscape.

 Maelor Saesneg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maelor Saesneg (English: "English-speaking Maelor"), sometimes called "Flintshire Detached", is an area of Wales along the eastern border which is an exclave of the traditional county of Flintshire.
Since 1974 the traditional county has not been reflected in the structure of local government (see the article on Counties of Wales); the area is currently administered by the borough of Wrexham.
To the west, across the River Dee, lies another area known as Maelor Gymraeg, meaning "Welsh-speaking Maelor".

For many centuries, the pleasant village of Overton was located in Maelor Saesneg (English Maelor), a part of Flintshire entirely surrounded by English territory.
It is now in the county of Denbigh as part of Wrexham Maelor, the new parliamentary district.
On the way from Chester to Overton, via Wrexham, we should stop at Bangor-Is-Y-Coed (Bangor-on-Dee), whose 17th century bridge is said to have been designed by Inigo Jones, and where one of the very earliest monasteries in Britain was founded in the fifth century.

 Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust - Projects - Historic Landscapes - Maelor Saesneg - Architectural Landscapes
Relatively little survives from the medieval period, though notable structural remains include parts of St Mary’s Church, Overton and St Dunawd’s Church, Bangor Is-y-coed, parts of which date from the 14th century and are perhaps the only medieval stonework to have survived in the historic landscape area.
Timber was also clearly widely used for barns, an important example being the cruck-built structure at Street Lydan (Penley), dated to about 1550, which has now been re-erected at the Museum of Welsh Life at St Fagans, which stood on a stone sill and was no doubt typical of many which have since disappeared.
Later timber-framed barns of which a significant number are recorded in Maelor Saesneg, include a large barn at Althrey Woodhouse (Bangor), probably of 17th-century date, and the outbuildings including a cow-house or stable range at Gwalia Farm and in the stable range at Llan-y-cefn (Overton).
