In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Gardden like this:
GARTHEN, a place on the SE border of Denbighshire; on Offa's dyke, 1½ mile S of Ruabon. Here is an ancient British camp of 4 acres; and here an English force was defeated, in 1161, by Cyfeiliog, prince of Powys. Garthen Hall is the seat of the Walmsleys; and Pen-y-gar-then was the seat of Rear-Admiral Sir John Marshall.
Gardden is now part of WREXHAM District. Click here for graphs and data of how WREXHAM has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Gardden itself, go to Statistics.
