St Maughans

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

St Maughans is located three miles north west of Monmouth.

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.

[2] The village has given its name to the St Maughans Formation, the lowest Devonian rocks of the Old Red Sandstone.
