From someone who grew up in dingestow and lived by the river troddi (troy) . Brilliant video. And such a fascinating story about raglan church which I drive pass regularly.
Very informative video. I stumbled across Troy House on a walk from Tintern to Monmouth. It’s such a shame to see it in its current state. Would love to to be able to have a look around the interior.
Hi Paul and Goff. As someone who has watch your channel for a couple of years now, I’m always enthralled by your research. This is an odd request but I have tried to research the area of ‘Llanedeyrn Cardiff’. Sadly there’s very little I can find on line. Could you please recommend somewhere that would contain info on it (pre 70’s housing estate)? Would there be a place that would have maybe old records or even photos? Thought I’d be cheeky and ask 🙈
Wales. Henry VIII muddied the waters in 1541 when he placed Monmouthshire in the Oxford legal circuit separate from the rest of Wales. That's where a lot of the confusion stems from.
Thanks gents. A good excuse to refresh my memory! See you at the Tredegar Folklore tour, Mac… (the one who’s interested in John Morgan) 😂 EDIT: In the sketch of the “tomb-raiding”, there are the letters A, B, C, and D makes around the paper. Do you have any idea what these are - the route they took in their investigation?
Hi, Mac. John Macgregor (the ol' tomb raider himself) wrote: "A - we look straight into the vault down the steps and upon the coffin of Lady Granville. The passage to the right leads to B under which is the coffin of the Marquess of Worcester. C is a large old chest in the corner of the church. D is a door leading into the church."
@@littleknowledgepodcast674 perhaps there is a typo in the reference and the order was of the 'Eudist" nuns of The Order of Our Lady of Charity of the Refuge, also known as the Order of Our Lady of Charity, which is a Roman Catholic monastic order founded in 1641 by John Eudes in Caen, France. The order's mission is to help women and children around the world, and it has two branches: contemplative and apostolic (Ref: Wikipedia) "The sisters came to England in 1863, building a large purpose built convent at Bartestree near Hereford and by 1910 also had houses at Waterlooville near Portsmouth, Monmouth, Southampton, and Northfield."
Thank you, Catalina. That's what comes from chasing a 'typo'. I thought that 'endist' sounded a bit cataclysmic. Good to know they were far more positive than that!
Such great storytelling as always! 👋

Me too! I'd like to check the state of that c1620 ceiling for one. Let's hope the story of Troy House isn't over just yet. Many thanks for commenting.
Growing up nearby. We used to call it the naughty kids school. And they where always running away. And now we know why. Many sad and dark stories.
I'm afraid you are right. Too many sad and dark stories...

at last you are back. what is your opinion was Monmouthshire part Wales or England?
A welsh kingdom. Always was and will be 😉

First! Hi! Well done.

@@littleknowledgepodcast674Thanks both. It was a proper tomb being from A to B! M.
The what nuns..?
'Endist' nuns, who were expelled from France. I have no idea what an endist nun is, I'm afraid. Hopefully someone in the comments will help.
