Mounton

Mounton

Mounton is a hamlet in Monmouthshire, south east Wales, United Kingdom, located two miles west of Chepstow in a rural setting.

The parish was originally part of the holdings of Chepstow Priory, with the name Monktown. It has a tiny parish church[1] dedicated to St. Andoenus, which was almost wholly rebuilt in 1880. Until the late 19th century the village had three water mills, producing paper, carpets and cloth.[2]

Mounton House School, now a special school for boys, was built as a country house in the Arts and Crafts style in 1914 by Henry Avray Tipping, better known as a garden designer and writer.
