St Mary's church, Bersham
The Church of St Mary is located in a wooded churchyard on the west side of Bersham Village. It was built by T L Fitzhugh, landowner of Plas Power for the use of his household and dependants. It was opened for divine service on the 6 January 1876, and it was consecrated as a private chapel on the 13th October 1883. The Architect was John Gibson, responsible for much of the work on the estate of Plas Power. The building remains a private chapel.
Interestingly there is a note on the gate which states the roof is zinc not lead.
Grade II * listed (CADW reference 16553).
