Administrative / Biographical History

The county of Flintshire falls within the Diocese of St Asaph and consists of over fifty ecclesiastical parishes, including Hawarden. The records of individual ecclesiastical parishes in Flintshire include registers of baptisms, marriages and burials, as well as records of the churchwardens and Parochial Church Councils, parish charities, schools, clubs and societies. Parish records were deposited at the Clwyd Record Office, following an agreement of 1976 between the Church in Wales and the Welsh County Councils. St Mary's Church, Broughton, is a member church of the modern Rectorial Benefice of Hawarden, and is not a separate parish; it had previosuly been a township. The ecclesiastical district of Broughton does not have specifically defined boundaries within the parish of Hawarden.
