Between 1974 and 1996, Penley was in the short-lived county of Clwyd. Penley lies on the path of the long-distance walk, the Maelor Way.[3] Church and parish historyPenley Church was originally built in 1538. The timber structure was replaced by a brick one in 1793. This was demolished in 1893, and the current church was completed in 1899; it was consecrated in 1902, and dedicated to Mary Magdalene. Penley was originally part of the parish of Ellesmere in neighbouring Shropshire, but it became a separate parish towards the end of the Commonwealth period. In early 1661, it reverted to being part of the parish of Ellesmere, after the Restoration of Charles II. In 1860, it again became a separate parish. It was then in the English Diocese of Lichfield until 1920, when following the disestablishment and disendowment of the Church in Wales, it was transferred to the Welsh Diocese of St Asaph, where it remains.[4] Penley is home to the Penley Community Hospital, which is still in operation and cares for Polish ex-servicemen who settled in the area.[5] SchoolsPenley has one primary school and one secondary school. The primary school, known as the Madras School,[6] was built in 1811 by George Kenyon II, Baron Kenyon of Gredington. Penley's secondary school, The Maelor School, was built in 1957 and serves the rural communities on both sides of the border. It has had excellent GCSE results over the last few years with a high percentage of pupils getting A*s; it was awarded the title of the "most improved secondary school in North Wales" from the Curriculum Authority for Wales in 2006.[7] Notes1. ^{{NOMIS2011|id=1119885324|title=Penley population|accessdate=13 February 2019}} 2. ^Maelor Saesneg: Penley 3. ^Gordon Emery - Guide to the Maelor Way (1991) {{ISBN|1-872265-98-7}} 4. ^Penley Church history 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/legacies/immig_emig/wales/w_ne/ |publisher=BBC |title= Penley Poles|accessdate=28 February 2019}} 6. ^The Madras School 7. ^The Maelor School Further reading
