Rhuddlan is one of the "ancient parishes" of Flintshire, featuring prominently in the Domesday book; at which time it was a stronghold of Robert, the nephew of Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester. It comprised the townships of Crickin, Yscawen, Pentre, Brynbychan, Brynywal, Cefndy, Brynhedydd, Trellewelyn, Rhydorddwy and Rhyl. On the 23rd May 1844, the townships of Rhyl and Brynhedydd went to the new parish of Rhyl; and more land was transferred from the parish of Rhuddlan to Rhyl shortly after the opening of the district church of St. Ann in 1896. The earliest recorded mention of the church at Rhuddlan dates from the end of the eighth century. The church was extensively restored in 1870. The church was in Flintshire until 1974; and in Clwyd from 1974 until 1996 It is now in "new" Denbighshire.
