I have been researching the land that the Racecourse was later built on jonesfach, and I am looking for links that tie in this region with the birth of the nation of Wales itself, and specifically how the land at Plas Coch may connect to this. Certainly, Stansty has links to the early Kings of Powys and Wat's Dyke was an Anglo Saxon frontier that the Kings of Powys eventually conquered, prior to the Norman Conquest of England.
Hopefully anything I find will help to secure the future of The Racecourse.
As a sporting venue, the Racecourse can now be dated back to the 18th Century, but hopefully I will find confirmation that links The Racecourse to other evidence I have found, of horseracing in Wrexham in the 1600's, though I cant definately say as yet, whether these races took place on The Racecourse.
