Undy
Undy ((ウェールズ語:Gwndy)) is a village in Monmouthshire, south east Wales, adjoining the village of Magor with which it forms the community and parish of "Magor with Undy". It is located about 3 miles west of Caldicot and 10 miles east of Newport, close to the junction of the M4 and M48 motorways, and adjoins the Caldicot Levels on the north bank of the Bristol Channel.
==History==
The area was settled in Roman times. In 1996 a stone coffin dating from the 3rd or 4th century was found during building work, containing the skeleton of a young woman.〔(Roman age burial at Undy )〕
The village name is of uncertain origin. Previous spellings include Wondy, as noted by William Camden in 1610.〔( Undy in Camden's ''Britain'' )〕〔Also spelled 'Wondy' in Herman Moll's county map of Monmouthshire, c.1724〕 The manor was an early seat of the Seymour family. The parish church of St. Mary contains a 13th-century west window and font, and an archway and porch from the same period or slightly later.〔John Newman, ''The Buildings of Wales: Gwent/Monmouthshire'', 2000, ISBN 0-14-071053-1〕 It was substantially rebuilt around 1880.〔Joseph Bradney, ''A History of Monmouthshire: The Hundred of Caldicot'', 1933〕
The village underwent major expansion in the late 20th century, following the development of nearby Caldicot and Magor as suburban housing areas for those working in Newport, Cardiff and Bristol.
