LLANGWM UCHA, MONMOUTHSHIRE.

ABOUT three miles from Usk, in the direction of Chepstow, stands the interesting little church of "Llangwm Ucha", or "Upper Llangwm", so named in contradistinction to its sister church of "Llangwm Isa", which lies a little lower down in the same secluded dell, the very name of which is unknown to the present inhabitants, but which I think we shall be right in identifying as "Cwm Gwarthaf”.

A tradition, however, which has survived to the present time, and is imbedded in Sir S. R. Meyrick's Heraldic Visitations of Wales, states that this is not the original site, but that it has superseded an earlier one about a mile distant, and near the extensive camp of Gaer Vawr. That spot is still known as "The Churchyard", and the hedgerows about it are thick set with yew trees. The camp covers an area of nearly seventeen acres, and intersects the lines of communication between the Roman stations of Isca Silurum (Caerwent), Caerleon, Burrium (Usk), Blæstum (Monmouth), and Gobannium (Abergavenny). A Roman general stationed here is said to have founded the church about the year A.D. 180; but, as in so many other cases, it was removed by supernatural agency to its present position. That a church should have been so founded is not at all unlikely; indeed it is per se most probable: for we know that the spread of Christianity in this land followed as a rule the course of the Roman legionaries; and this particular case, moreover, was in the immediate neighbourhood of Caerleon, so early famous for its flourishing church, its converts, and its martyrs. After the withdrawal of the Romans and the desertion of the Gaer Vawr, the church would still continue for a while the centre point of the surrounding Christian population; but when local provision began to be made
