Trelleck Grange

It sits on high ground above the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Tintern Abbey, between two tributaries of the Angiddy Brook.

It may have referred to a large stone which rested on a mound near the village, perhaps near "Rock Cottage".

[2] The area was once part of the manor of Trellech, with a church known as Ecclesia Mainuon, but in 1138 it was granted to the monks of the then newly established Tintern Abbey by Gilbert de Clare, the Marcher lord of Striguil or Chepstow.

The monks then cultivated it as a grange, making it the principal farm for food production for the Abbey.

[3] A small parish church, with no known dedication, still exists, surrounded by farm buildings.
