Llandogo
Llandogo ((ウェールズ語:Llaneuddogwy)) is a small village in Monmouthshire, south Wales, between Monmouth and Chepstow in the lower reaches of the Wye Valley AONB, two miles north of Tintern. It is set on a steep hillside overlooking the River Wye and across into the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England.
==History==
The village derives its name from St Euddogwy (Oudoceus), the third Bishop of Llandaff, who probably lived in the area in the 6th or 7th century.〔( Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust Historic Landscape Characterisation: Llandogo )〕 The church was formerly also or alternatively dedicated to St Einion Frenin, who was credited with establishing Saint Cadfan's monastery on Bardsey Island off Llyn.〔Baring-Gould, Sabine & al. (''The Lives of the British Saints: The Saints of Wales and Cornwall and Such Irish Saints as Have Dedications in Britain'', Vol. II, pp. 422 ff ). Chas. Clark (London), 1908. Hosted at Archive.org. Accessed 18 Nov 2014.〕 The present church is on the site of a 7th or 8th-century foundation, but was wholly rebuilt in 1859–61 by J. P. Seddon.〔http://www.ggat.org.uk/cadw/historic_landscape/wye_valley/english/wyevalley_024.htm〕〔http://imagingthebible.llgc.org.uk//site/293〕 It has been described as one of Seddon's "most high-spirited small churches", with "polychromatic interplay inside and out" between mauve and ochre stone, and "an extraordinarily elaborate belfry".〔
Llandogo was a port, renowned at one time for building of the trow, a flat-bottomed river boat that until the 19th century was used for trading up and down the River Wye, also on the River Severn shore and across the Severn estuary and the Bristol Channel to Bristol. The boat gave its name to the historic Llandoger Trow pub close to the harbour in Bristol. The bell of ''The William and Sarah'', one of the last Chepstow barges to trade on the river, can be found in the bell tower of the church at Llandogo.
The Priory is a villa built in 1838 for John Gough by the architects Wyatt & Brandon. It is associated with Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement, who spent several summers as a boy there. He recounts in the sixth yarn of ''Scouting For Boys'' an expedition by folding boat up the River Thames, down the River Avon and across the Severn Estuary, finishing in Llandogo. The house belonged to Count Henry Philip Ducarel de la Pasture,〔(Priory Care Home )〕 whose wife and daughter were both well-known novelists, as Mrs Henry de la Pasture and E. M. Delafield respectively.
