LLANGOVEN (St. Goven), a parish, in the division of Trelleck, hundred of Raglan, union and county of Monmouth, 3¼ miles (E. S. E.) from Raglan; containing 136 inhabitants. This parish, which is situated on the old road from Monmouth to Usk, comprises by computation 1889 acres, and exhibits some very elevated ground, with other portions boldly undulated, the views from the former being exceedingly fine. The living is a perpetual curacy, with that of Pen-y-Clawdd annexed, valued in the king's books at £3. 7. 1., and having a net income of £120; it is in the patronage of the Bishop, Archdeacon, and Chapter of Llandaff, the appropriators, whose tithes have been commuted for £170. The church is of considerable antiquity, with a tower.
