In the 18th Century, Parkgate was an important port linking England with Ireland. As the river Dee silted up, it became a seaside resort and fishing village. Now it´s a residential village with beautiful views across to Wales. Visitors still come in large numbers for the ice cream, local shrimps, for its pubs and restaurants and to walk. St. Thomas´s in Mostyn Square, is a Grade II listed sandstone church that has served the village since 1843. It is in a Conservation Area which ensures the charm of the old port and village is safeguarded. Traditional associations with the fishing community have led to St Thomas´s being known, affectionately, as the ‘Fisherman´s Church´. Now we are working to restore and renovate the building as a focal point for village activities and a place of worship. Parkgate has no public facilities except for its Church.
