Penley
Penley ((ウェールズ語:Llannerch Banna)) is a village in the County Borough of Wrexham, in Wales close to the border with Shropshire, England
The village was, until 1974, in an exclave of the ancient county of Flintshire known as ''Maelor Saesneg''.〔(Maelor Saesneg: Penley )〕 (English: "English-speaking Maelor"), sometimes called "''Flintshire Detached''", which was administered from Overton-on-Dee. Between 1974 and 1996, Penley was in the short-lived county of Clwyd.
Penley lies on the path of the long-distance walk, the ''Maelor Way''〔Gordon Emery - Guide to the Maelor Way (1991) ISBN 1-872265-98-7〕
==Penley Polish Hospital==
Penley is home to the Penley Polish Hospital, which is still in operation and cares for 8 patients at present. It is managed by the North East Wales NHS Trust. The hospital was founded following a decree from Sir Winston Churchill after World War II, to care for Polish ex-servicemen who fought alongside the Allies in World War II, as well as their families, who settled in the area.〔(BBC article on the Penley Poles )〕 As a result of this influx, the population of Penley increased threefold. Residents at the hospital and camp included the Polish military commander, Wacław Przeździecki. At its peak, in the early 1950s, the hospital housed more than 2,000 patients and staff.
