Griffithstown is a large suburb of Pontypool in the borough of Torfaen, Wales, within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire.

He lived in the substantial St. Dunstan's House (now demolished) on what is now Commercial Street and his memorial is in St Hilda's Church.

This area contains mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses [1] and is located below Sunnybank Road on the east side of the town.

The area includes the shopping precinct of Windsor Road; Griffithstown Primary School and the Welsh-medium Ysgol Panteg (the town's secondary school needs are met by nearby West Monmouth School in Pontypool); St Hilda's Church (Anglican), Griffithstown Baptist Church; Griffithstown Congregational Chapel as well as numerous pubs, like the famous Hanbury Hotel, and the Great Western Railway Staff Association club (GWRSA).

The first vicar was Rev Mr James Dunn, who was also chaplain of the Union Workhouse on Coedygric Road (now County Hospital) and an alumnus of University of Wales, Lampeter.

Griffithstown Park has recently undergone great investment and development, with the introduction of an enclosed basketball court and a five-a-side pitch.
