History

Halkyn is one of the ancient parishes of Flintshire, originally comprising the townships of Hendrefigillt, Lygan y Llan and Lygan y Wern. Today the village is the most well-known of the area and certainly the oldest, more than 1,000 years old, as it was recorded in the Domesday Book [ [http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/cheshire3.html The Domesday Book Online - Cheshire - in Wales ] ] .
