 In 1709 the Plas Coch estate was sold by Sir William Meredith of Kent to Sir John Wynn, 1st Baronet of Gwydir Castle, Llanrwst.Plas Coch played an important part in the social life of the town, hosting the Denbighshire & Flintshire Agricultural Society Show and the Annual Wrexham Lager Festival.Sadly the house and outbuildings were demolished in the late 1980s to make way for a large supermarket and retail development.
