Worthenbury is a little Town by Dee side in that Hundred of Flint-shire, which is separated some Miles from the rest of the County, and known by the name of English Mailoes, because tho it is reputed in Wales, as pertaining to Flint-shire, yet in Language and Customs it is wholly English, and lies mostly between Cheshire and Shrop-shire. Worthenbury was of old a Parochial Chapel belonging to the Rectory of Bangor, but was separated from it in the Year 1658 by the Trustees for uniting and dividing of Parishes, and was made a Parish of itself. But what was then done being vacated by the Kings coming in, it then came to be in statu quo, and continued an appurtenant to Bangor, till in the Second Year of the Reign of King William and Queen Mary, it was again by Act of Parliament separated, and made Independent upon Bangor. ⟨p. 28⟩That was the only Act that passed the Royal Assent with the Act of Recognition, at the beginning of the Second Parliament of this Reïgn. The Principal Family in Worthenbury Parish, is that of the Pulestons of Emeral. The Head of the Family was then John Puleston Serjeant at Law, one of the Judges of the Common-Pleas.
