history
In his book A Topographical Dictionary of Wales , S. Lewis suspected that Bodfari was the Roman base of Varis , which he bases on the finds of urns, ornaments, weapon fragments, coins and other Roman relics. More recently, the parish of Bodfari belonged to Flintshire and included the parishes of Bodfari and Aberwheeler .
While Bodfari had 873 inhabitants in 1831 and 756 in 1901, the village had 327 inhabitants in 164 households according to the 2011 census.
Infrastructure
Bodfari has its own post office, the Bodfari Post Office, and its own primary school, the Ysgol Bodfari . There are also a total of seven churches, including the Anglican St. Stephen's Parish Church, which can be traced back to the time of the Norman conquest and was extensively rebuilt in 1865.
traffic
On September 6, 1869, the Mold & Denbigh Junction Railway opened the Bodfari Station as part of a rail connection between Mold and Denbigh , which served as a stop for several train lines and closed on April 30, 1962 after a good hundred years of operation. Nowadays Bodfari is connected to the A541 and is a stop for four different bus routes.
