St. John's Parish Church, Rhosllanerchrugog
This was consecrated in 1853 and closed in 2004 due to lack of funding for roof repairs. The building (which is grade II listed) still appears to be in good condition.
Despite being relatively new and having excellent stone work, it has an ancient and haunting feel about it - possibly due to the Romanesque revival / Norman style of architecture and the overgrowths.
It is located next to the main cemetery (which is not accessible from here) and there are also gravestones in the church grounds which I found to be unique. Several of them are in purple slate.
I liked this place.

Bethania, Eglwys y Bedyddwyr, Rhosllanerchrugog
As many chapels in this area have biblical references in their names, it may be that Bethania refers to Bethany, a small village near Jerusalem.
Eglwys y Bedyddwyr means Baptist church. Members of this denomination believe that followers of Jesus Christ demonstrate their faith by being baptised (most commonly by immersion in water) and are not in favour of infant baptism.
The building is dated 1905.
