Other places of worship include the Old Church, the Roman Catholic Church of Christ the King, a Baptist Church and a Presbyterian Chapel.
Landmarks
Trevalyn Hall is a Grade II* listed Elizabethan manor house built in 1576. The house and its grounds were owned by the Trevor family for several generations. During the 1980s the building was converted into apartments.[4]
Rossett Mill is a Grade II* listed watermill built in 1588. Of timber-framed construction on a stone base, the mill was extended in 1661 and during the 1820s. The mill is occasionally opened to the public for visiting. The landscape artist J. M. W. Turner sketched the building in 1795.[5]
Marford Mill, opposite Rossett Mill, was first built around 1086 and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Until the building of Rossett Mill it was the only mill in the area. Marford Mill has an unusual double wheel. The Mill has been the home, since the 1980s, to the British Association for Shooting and Conservation, the UK's largest shooting association.[6]
Cook's Bridge crosses the River Alyn and is Grade II listed. It is a single-span stone bridge constructed in the early nineteenth century.[7]
A sacred well, St. Peter's well, rises 450 yards from the site of an old chapel which was demolished in the 17th century. The well had a reputation for the cure of sore eyes and sprained limbs.[8]
In 2020, the remains of a Roman villa were found under a field in the village.[9]
Notable people
Russ Abbot (b 1947) lived in Rossett.[10]
