Llanfoist

[1] 1901 Kelly's Directory of Monmouthshire describes the parish church of St Faith's: "".. an ancient building of small dimensions, in the Gothic style, consisting of chancel, nave, south porch and a western bell gable with two bells" adding "The windows are stained; one on the south side, of three lights, was placed by Mrs. Wheeley in memory of her father.

The east window and two small ones in the chancel were erected by the neighbouring gentry to the memory of Crawshay Bailey esq., the great ironmaster of Nant-y-glo, who is buried here.

[3] In January 2012 an ancient yew tree in the grounds of St Faith's Church, which was believed to be up to 1,000 years old, was brought down by high winds.

[7] The village is located beneath the hill known as Blorenge, part of the Brecon Beacons National Park, rising 1,838 feet (560 m) above sea level over the vale of the River Usk.

[9] The Llanfoist Fawr Primary School moved to a new location in the Barratt estate (Ffordd yr Ysgol) on Gypsy Lane and was opened in 2008.

Opened in 1894, its Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales registration describes it as a "good example of a well-preserved Victorian landscaped garden cemetery".
