Vauxhall Fields, also known as Vauxhall Meadows, are water meadows to the northwest of Monmouth town centre, Wales. The River Monnow borders the meadows on two sides. The meadows have generally remained free of development. The area has been prone to flooding on many occasions over the years. ==History== Before 1880 the area was mainly farmland. The area was originally made up of several fields:- Castle Field Meadows, Lower Priory Holme, Middle Priory Field and Bridge Meadows.〔Keith Kissack, ''Victorian Monmouth'', The Monmouth Historical and Educational trust, ISBN 0-9503386-2-1, page 206〕 Castle Field was probably the main site of the battle in 1233 between the supporters of Henry III, King of England, and those of Richard, the Earl of Pembroke and Lord Marshal.〔( RCAHMW: Monmouth, Site of battle ). Accessed 16 December 2011〕 In the late eighteenth century, part of the area was laid out as pleasure grounds by Mr Tibbs, landlord of the Beaufort Arms Hotel, and became known as Vauxhall after Vauxhall Gardens in London.〔Keith Kissack, ''Monmouth and its Buildings'', Logaston Press, 2003, ISBN 1-904396-01-1, p.9〕 Vauxhall Farmhouse is a Grade II Listed building and has been since 8 October 2005. It is located about 500 m north of Monmouth Castle looking south across Vauxhall Meadows.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wales/monmouthshire/monmouth )〕 The Vauxhall Fields area was used by Monmouth Show from 1946 until 2006, although the show was not held in 1956 or 2001 due to outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease. The fields were also used by Haberdashers' Monmouth School for Girls as playing fields until the school bought their own land and built playing fields close to the school in the 1980s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.monmouthshow.co.uk/General/History.aspx )〕 More recently the fields have been used for the Wales International Kite Festival,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.partyguideonline.com/recreation/kiting.html )〕 steam rallies,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bordercountiesvintageclub.co.uk/page.asp?p=1 )〕 Scout jambourees,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.newportscouts.org/2011_12_01_archive.html )〕 dog shows,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pawsonthelevels.org.uk/aboutagility/competitiondates.html )〕 show jumping competitions,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mon-pony-club.co.uk/club_programme.htm )〕 guided walks,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.walkinginmonmouthshire.org/category/walks-near-monmouth/ )〕 fun runs〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hmsg.co.uk/en/MonmouthSantaFunRun )〕 and hot air balloon flights.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.virginballoonflights.co.uk/locations/launchsite/monmouth )〕
