Flintshire Flintshire was unique in maintaining two exclaves until 1974. Historically there were eight (pre-1844 total 8, legal 4; post-1844 total 8, legal 4): Abenbury Fechan (5). The township of Abenbury Fechan, east of Wrexham, consisted of one larger and four smaller exclaves totalling . The township was transferred to the Denbighshire township of Abenbury Fawr in 1885. The small exclaves were Woodbine Farm, Hullah Farm, Llwyn-on and Five Fords. English Maelor (1). The largest of the exclaves was the area of English Maelor or Maelor Saesneg, which became the Overton Rural District in 1894, and was renamed Maelor Rural District in 1953. Marford-and-Hoseley (2).
