The Anglican province of Wales — disestablished from the Church of England in 1920 and now an independent member church of the Anglican Communion.

The Church in Wales traces its roots to the earliest Celtic Christianity of the British Isles, but as a distinct province it was created in 1920 when the Welsh Church Act disestablished and disendowed the four Welsh dioceses of the Church of England. Today it is led by the Archbishop of Wales and organised into six dioceses across the country.
