Llangarron
Llangarron is a small village and civil parish in southwest Herefordshire within 7 miles (11 km) of both Ross-on-Wye (Herefordshire, England) and Monmouth (Monmouthshire, Wales). The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 1,053. The civil parish includes the settlements of Llangrove, Llancloudy, Biddlestone and Three Ashes. The church is dedicated to St. Deinst (a Celtic saint who died in c584). The village no longer has a post office nor pub, though it does have a community hall. The name, also spelt Llangarren and Llangarran, refers to the Garron Brook, a tributary of the River Wye. Several local farms have Welsh names, a legacy of the fluid nature of the England-Wales border in the past. A variant suggestion is that the name derives from “garan”, Welsh for stork or heron, as a heron-like bird is depicted in the church gates.
