Llanrothal is a small village and historical parish in Herefordshire, England in the Monnow Valley, on the border with Monmouthshire, Wales.

[2] It contains a 12th-century church, St John the Baptist's which stands in a remote position close to the England–Wales border overlooking the river.

[6] Originally a shooting box, and subsequently a farmhouse, it is also Grade II listed, together with the terrace in front of the house, and the retaining wall to the side, which contains rare bee boles.

[7] The present building, dating from about the 1830s, is on the site and incorporates part of a demolished 17th-century house that was a Jesuit province and college.

[9] In the early 17th-century the house became the headquarters of the Jesuit mission in South Wales and remained an important Catholic centre until its discovery and sacking by the Bishop of Hereford in 1678,[4] in the anti-Catholic backlash following the Popish Plot.
