ALLINGTON (TREV-ALUN), a township, in the parish of GRESFORD, partly in the hundred of BROMFIELD, county of DENBIGH, and
partly in the hundred of MAELOR, county of FLINT, NORTH WALES, 6 miles (N. by E.) from Wrexham, containing 812
inhabitants. Here was formerly a chapel of ease to the parish church, but there are no vestiges of it, except the cemetery
which marks the site. There is a place of worship for Calvinistic Methodists. In this township stands the ancient and
venerable family mansion of the Trevors, of whom Sir Richard, whose monument is in the parish church, greatly
distinguished himself in the wars in Ireland, towards the close of the sixteenth century, in which he held the
governorship of Newry, and of the counties of Armagh and Down: in the hall is his portrait, representing him with his
prayer-book in his hand, in a meditative attitude, having his helmet and armour behind him, with mottoes alluding to the
former and latter periods of his life, and uttering an ejaculation of gratitude to God for his goodness to his children's
children's children.
