Llangattock-Vibon-Avel

The name means, in Welsh, "Saint Cadoc's church, of the sons (Meibion) of Abel", the latter part to distinguish the village from others in the area with dedications to Cadoc, such as Llangattock Lingoed. The local form, in the dialect of south east Wales, would have been ''Llangatwg F'ib'on Afel''. ==History and architecture ==

St Cadoc's Church is a Grade II* listed building which is of special interest for its association with the Rolls family of nearby The Hendre. A reconstruction was undertaken first in 1852–53 and then again in 1875 by Thomas Henry Wyatt. Nearby Llangattock Manor was built on the site of an earlier house in 1877, for John Rolls, who later took the title of Baron Llangattock. It is also by Wyatt. Llangattock School, now known as Monmouth Montessori School, is a Montessori school and nursery housed in a school building commissioned by John Rolls at the same time as the manor house, for the children of workers on the family's estate. The Rolls of Monmouth golf club is based nearby at The Hendre. ==Llanfaenor==

Two miles (3.2 km) to the northwest of the village, at Llanfaenor, is a chapel of ease which was restored in 1859. It has a chancel, nave, south porch and a western turret with one small bell. Originally it could accommodate a seated congregation of 80. ==References==
