1. From 1878 services for the Welsh community of Rhosllanerchrugog had been held in the iron church of St Mary's erected in the yard of the National School (before it was moved to Johnstown, NPRN 420488). But in 1892 the foundation stone of the new church of St David's was laid before it was consecrated in 1893.
The church is located on the north side of Broad Street in the Ponciau district. It is brick built and comprises a nave and north aisle (the chancel not yet built when described in 1913) and south porch. It was furnished with red deal seats and floored with wood blocks. The pulpit, prayer desk and lectern were of oak.
