Its name, originally that of the village chapel, is formed from the Welsh words bryn, "hill", and gwyn, "white": "white hill". At the time of the 2001 census, its population combined with that of the neighbouring, larger village of Bwlchgwyn was 1,148.[1] Like the neighbouring villages of Minera and Bwlchgwyn, Gwynfryn is associated with the development of lead mines and limestone quarries in the vicinity. It is situated at the head of the Clywedog Valley in a hilly limestone area.[2] The area was originally known as Plas-Gwyn ("white hall") Mountain, its name on the 1879 and 1900 Ordnance Surveys of Denbighshire, or as Pentre-Bais ("petticoat village"). According to a local story the latter name was changed to Gwynfryn by the disapproving village postmaster (or schoolmaster, in some versions).[3][4] There was a Wesleyan Methodist chapel in Gwynfryn, which in 1905 had a congregation of 194.[5] There was also a small Church in Wales chapel, St David's, which as of 2010 has been closed. The musician, composer and Eisteddfod adjudicator Thomas Carrington (1881–1961) was born in Gwynfryn.[6] References{{Commons category|Gwynfryn, Wrexham}}1. ^{{cite web|url=http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=3&b=323754&c=LL11+5YH&d=141&e=15&g=415100&i=1001x1003x1004&m=0&enc=1&dsFamilyId=67|author=National Statistics|title=Neighbourhood statistics|accessdate=2007-03-04}} {{Wrexham}}2. ^Landscape Character Area – Minera, Gwynfryn, Bwlchgwyn, Wrexham County Borough 3. ^Minera history, BBC North East Wales 4. ^The Wilcoxon Family, Minera History 5. ^Minera, GENUKI 6. ^[https://biography.wales/article/s2-CARR-THO-1881 Thomas Carrington], National Library of Wales 1 : Villages in Wrexham County Borough |
