The former St Andrew's Church
These 'tin tabernacles' were churches in kit form used in areas of rapid population growth in the late Nineteenth century. Virtually all now redundant, a few have achieved listed-building status.

St Andrew's Mission Church, Wern
The invention of galvanising happened in 1828 and corrugated sheets were rapidly adopted as building materials. Many corrugated iron buildings were erected in the second half of the 19th century, mostly as temporary buildings. Few now remain and most of those that do are the "tin tabernacles" such as this one near Minera.

The Tin Church
These Buildings were originally bought from a local "Hardware " firm , presumably in kit form for use as either Churches or Chapels, or in one case sadly long demolished, as a Railway Station building at Central Station Wrexham.

Dilapidated graveyard at Wern
You nearly miss this very overgrown graveyard when walking along the road - it is hidden behind a stone wall. The graves are all higgledy-piggledy.
