Denbigh (UK Parliament constituency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Denbigh was a parliamentary constituency centred on the town of Denbigh in North Wales. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the British House of Commons.
The constituency first returned an MP in 1542, to the English Parliament. From 1707 to 1800, the MPs sat in the Parliament of Great Britain, and after the Act of Union 1800, in the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The constituency was abolished for the 1983 general election.
