Llanarth is a privately owned estate village within a conservation area in the Welsh county of Monmouthshire. Llanarth is roughly six miles east of Abergavenny and four miles west of Raglan. ==History== One of the earliest mentions of the village is in the ''Book of Llandaff'', written in 1125 CE, where it is rendered with the spelling "Llangarth". The village's name translates as either "church on the ridge of the hill” or possibly “church with a garth (yard)”. Both attest to the presence of a chapel with resident priest (Llan). Settlement within the area potentially dates back to the 6th century CE. ''The Book of Llandaff'' states that the king of Gwent - Iddon son of Ynyr Gwent, gave his mansion of "Llangarth" to Teilo, who was the Bishop of Llandaff between 512 and 566. In 880 a Bishop by the name of Nudd was resident within Llanarth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= A History of Catholic Worship at Llanarth: Parish History of Llanarth )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Iddon, King of Gwent )〕 The Norman church in the village today stands on the foundation of an older, previous church. In 1891 this church was restored, and for over a century catered to Anglican worshippers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Llanarth, Monmouthshire: Historical Description )〕 Just over a century later, in 2014, unable to afford architectural maintenance, the church had closed its doors The Llanarth estate and its forestry are notable for their numerous coast redwood and giant redwood conifer specimens, which were likely planted in the 19th century following sapling transportation from California. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Llanarth, Monmouthshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
