St Maughans

St Maughans (Welsh: Llanfocha) is a village in Monmouthshire, south east Wales, United Kingdom.

In around 860, Britcon and Iliuc gave Lann Mocha (St Maughans) to Archbishop Dyfrig with the consent of King Meurig ab Arthfael.

The village has a church dedicated to Saint Maughan, which dates from the 12th or 13th century and has a distinctive local dovecote belfry.
