A WREXHAM church which closed earlier this year is holding a viewing day this weekend for items that are surplus to requirements.

The viewing day will be held at St James' Church in Rhosddu, on Saturday (July 13).

A morning viewing from 10am until 11.30am will be held for other churches before the public viewing from 11.30am until 1.30pm.

The much-loved church closed in April this year after nearly 150-years serving the Rhosddu community.

A spokesperson for Diocese of St Asaph said: “The building of St James’ Church in Rhosddu has been closed and as part of the closure process all the church contents will become available for disposal.

"On Saturday 13 July, the church is holding a Viewing Day so churches or individuals can express an interest in an item and agree a price.

"Churches will be given priority over the content and some items have already been earmarked for local churches in Wrexham.

"No items will be available to be taken that day, either by churches or individuals."

The church received a wonderful turnout for its final service held on April 21.

The historic building's future purpose is still to be confirmed.
