<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dimparcio/54750393444/" title="Bettisfield St John The Baptist – Hanmer Family Memorial on North Wall of Nave"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54750393444_7f6ddb6f21_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Bettisfield St John The Baptist – Hanmer Family Memorial on North Wall of Nave" /></a></p>

<p> Bettisfield is a village just inside Wales, in Wrexham County Borough, in a area called Maelor South and in what was once a proper county, Flintshire. It's in the middle of beautiful countryside and only accessible by minor roads. But it's close to the English market towns of Whitchurch, Ellesmere and Wem each 6 miles away to the north-east, west and south-east respectively. The A495 runs to the north and west and the B5476 runs to the east, but you'd have to get to it via Whixall and that's not a good idea!<br />
<br />
'Beddesfeld' was described in the Domesday Book of 1086 as within the Cheshire Hundred of Dudeston of 28 households and with a value to a Lord Edwin in 1066 of £18 9s, reducing to £3 in 1086. The original name can be translated to 'Bēda's field', though the identity of Bēda remains a mystery. The name Bettisfield is thought to first appear as far back as the 14th century.<br />
<br />
The present church of St John the Baptist lies just a short way to the north of the village and was constructed in 1872/4, replacing a wooden structure of 1851. the National Churches Trust writes....<br />
“This beautiful church in a tranquil and peaceful setting, is one of the most complete churches designed by GE Street and has many fine features for visitors to enjoy.<br />
<br />
The tall, elegant octagonal tower which rises over the church is the most striking landmark of the English Maelor but why does this glorious building come to grace our small village?<br />
<br />
Before 1879 Bettisfield was within the Parish of Hanmer. In 1851, Sunday evening lectures by the Vicar John Allen, Master of Hanmer School, were held in the parlour of the village shop. They proved so successful that he decided to build a small wooden chapel seating about 80. Lord John, 7th Baron Hanmer of Bettisfield Park provided the timber and the chapel was built on glebe land. Lord John had wanted to build a church in Bettisfield since 1856 and had engaged the eminent Victorian architect George Edmund Street to design it. In 1872 he finally decided to go ahead, using only the finest materials.....”<br />
<br />
St John The Baptist at Bettisfield is now a Pilgrim Church, a status it took a few years ago after regular services stopped and is one of eight similar churches in North Wales. A limited number of services are held throughout the year.<br />
