Wrexham (Welsh: Wrecsam) is an industrial town in northeast Wales, close to the English border with Cheshire. It is the administrative centre of the county borough of Wrexham.
Wrexham is fast becoming a haven of pubs and clubs, boasting over 30 pubs within the town centre, including national chains such as Baracuda, Yates and Wetherspoons. For clubbers, the newly-refurbished Liquid/Envy is most popular but alternatives are Scott's for over 21's and Central Station all of which are within walking distance of each other.
St Giles' Church is the parish church of Wrexham and includes a colourful ceiling of flying musical angels, two early eagle lecterns, a window by the artist Edward Burne-Jones and the Royal Welch Fusiliers chapel. In the graveyard is the tomb of Elihu Yale who was the benefactor of YaleUniversity in New Haven, Connecticut, USA and after whom Yale College Wrexham is named. The tower of St. Giles is claimed as one of the 'Seven Wonders of Wales' and the tower of Yale University reflects its design. The Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady of Sorrows, in Regent Street, is the main church of the Diocese of Wrexham, which extends over all of the north of Wales. Wrexham also has a number of non-denominational chapels and Churches scattered about the town. The main Methodist church is in Brynyffynon, off Regent Street. Up until the 1970's the town was full of Welsh non-denominational Chapels and the attendance of these was far in excess of that of the Anglican Church in the town.
Wrexham has a professional football team, Wrexham A.F.C., which competes in the Football League. Currently managed by Denis Smith, the club has a rich history and is perhaps most notable for an F.A. Cup upset over Arsenal F.C. in 1992. Despite the attempt to knock down the club's historic Racecourse Ground and replace it with a shopping development in 2005/06, the club's future is now assured, thanks to a consortium of local businessmen led by a local car dealer Neville Dickens. Since exiting administration, the club was undefeated in its first 6 league games of the 2006/2007 season and recorded an impressive 4-1 victory away at Sheffield Wednesday in the Carling Cup.
