White Hart Inn, Llangybi

The White Hart Inn, Llangybi, Monmouthshire is a public house dating from the early 17th century.

[3] The inn is often said to have a priest hole, and to have been the headquarters of Oliver Cromwell during his campaigning in Monmouthshire in the English Civil War,[4] but the main sources do not support these suggestions.

[1][2] In 2003 Philip Edwards, former King Alfred professor of English literature at Liverpool University suggested that T. S. Eliot made cryptic reference to this pub and the village well in his 1935 poem "Usk".

[5] The relevant lines read: Coflein describes the building as a double-house,[6] although sources agree that it appears to have been a single dwelling from its earliest construction.

[1] Newman notes the "fine array" of mullioned windows and the plaster ceiling in the upstairs parlour, decorated with "sunflowers and fleurs-de-lys".
