Abbotsfield is a Grade II listed building in Rhosddu, Wrexham, North Wales.

It was formerly a private residence, and later a council office, until it was converted into the Abbotsfield Priory Hotel in the 1970s, later adding a restaurant and bar. The building is now The Lemon Tree restaurant, bar and hotel.

The building is located on the corner of Grosvenor Road and Rhosddu Road,^[2] It is two storeys,^[3] grade II listed,^[4] and in the neo-gothic^[5] style. The building is of coursed and squared tooled sandstone, with the roof being made of slate and has scalloped bands and ridge cresting. The building is arranged as a L-plan with its entrance located at the centre, at the angle of the building's wings. The building's entrance contains an asymmetric gabled porch with polished granite shafts to a deep-moulded arch engraved with the text "Trust in God" on a scroll.^[3][1]

To the doorway's left is an advanced wing.^[3][1] While the interior of the building has largely retained its original layout, with details such as the encaustic-tiled entrance hall, and quatrefoil rossette panelled staircase still surviving.^[3][1]

The building was designed in the 1860s by local architect James Reynolds Gummow^[5] as a private residence for Edward Jones.^[2][3][6][7] The building was the first house built on the Rhosddu end of Grosvenor Road,^[6] and was constructed and built from 1863^[3] to 1865.^[5]

In 1895, it was the home of John Arthur Eyton-Jones, a local surgeon. It later became an Area Education Office for the Denbighshire and later Clwyd council.^[2][5][6][7]

During the World Wars, one wing of the building served as the Abbotsfield Priory War Nursery.^[5]

The council later sold building in the 1970s to become a hotel in 1982^[5] as the Abbotsfield Priory Hotel, a family-run hotel with fourteen bedrooms by 1995.^[8] When it became a hotel and a bar in the 1970s and 1980s, various older pieces of other older Wrexham buildings were moved into the building, such as a mahogany bar from the Raglan Arms on Lambpit Street, with the mahogany structure serving as the building's bar.^[2][7]

In 2000, the building was converted into Graffiti Italiano,^[9] an Italian restaurant. It is now "The Lemon Tree" restaurant, bar and independently owned hotel, with twelve and later 18 bedrooms.^[2][5][6][7] The hotel building underwent a complete refurbishment in March 2010, with the name "The Lemon Tree" being added, and was further renovated in 2020–21.^[7] In December 2014, the restaurant was taken over by locals Sam Regan and his wife Emma.^[10] The restaurant served food they self-described as "modern British".^[11]
