Maesycwmmer
Maesycwmmer ((ウェールズ語:Maesycwmer)) is a village and community in the centre of Caerphilly County Borough in Wales, within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire. == Origin of the name == Some have claimed that the village name should be spelled as Maes-y-Cymer, meaning "the field of the confluence of streams". As Maesycwmer, however, the name is probably derived from Maes (field) + cwmwr (footbridge). A local tradition holds that a large tree was blown down during a storm, forming a natural footbridge across the river. The footbridge was used by noted preacher and local pioneer of the printing press, the Rev. John Jenkins (also known as Shôn Shincyn), to cross the river to his house. Jenkins' house "Maesycwmmwr House" was built in 1826 and stood on the east side of the river. In the 1840 Tithe Map for the village is given as Maesycwmwr, with the spelling then varying to Maesycwmer over time.〔(Place Names of the Rhymney Valley at mentercaerffili.org )〕
