There was bad weather in 1739-40 when farmers held their grain back so that prices increased. This resulted in artisans and colliers from Flintshire rioting as they searched grain stores for grain to make bread. At one confrontation in the parish a resident died as a result of a gunshot wound fired by a member of the invading mob and parishioners had to defend themselves with rakes, forks, scythes and sickles. The mob went on to plunder the granary of another farm and there was rioting in the adjoining parish of Henllan and elsewhere. There was also rioting in Denbigh in 1795 as a result of naval conscription during the Napoleonic Wars.
