Higher Kinnerton is in Flintshire, and was historically within the parish of Hope; but for ecclesiastical purposes, it was for many years a chapelry of the parish of Dodleston in Cheshire. After the disestablishment of the Church in Wales, in 1920, the parishioners of Higher Kinnerton elected to stay with the parish of Dodleston. Higher Kinnerton was split between the counties of Cheshire and Flintshire in 1894 when a new national regulation prohibited civil parishes from covering more than one county.

The neighbouring parish of Lower Kinnerton, which is about 1 mile to the northeast, is in Cheshire. (Source:GENUKI on Higher Kinnerton)
