Chirk

Chirk today is a mixture of the new and the old. Much of the historic architecture of the village creates a strong and varied character which appeals to visitors and to local people alike. Strong architectural styles influenced the Edwardian Parish Hall, celebrating its Centenary and the old National Girls School, now a furniture warehouse, built by the famous architect Augustus Pugin, co-architect of the Houses of Parliament. Admire the elegant Georgian appearances of both the Hand Hotel (formerly a coaching inn) and Mount House with its motte and bailey near the Church, and the picturesque Neo Gothic Hand Terrace and the old Boys School now housing the British Legion Headquarters. Many other buildings along the main street are of interest.

St. Mary's Church, contains fine stained glass windows of long-standing, with a more recent addition commissioned by the Royal British Legion. The unusual 1929 wooden white and black Roman Catholic Church is located in Castle Road and the Methodist Church in Chapel Lane.

The small corner shops may now be missing but Chirk has a wide variety of shops and businesses which can supply the needs of anyone living in or visiting the area. In addition, Chirk has a Chemist, an HSBC bank, a Post Office a vet and, in Castle Road, a Doctors' surgery. There is also a small Saturday morning market on the main car park which is very popular.
