Monmouth

Monmouth is an English contraction of `Monnow-mouth

Only remaining medieval stone gated bridge in Britain

Neolithic remains of a crannog (silted home) were excavated 

Military Roman fort of Blestium was established 

One time producers of the Monmouth Cap worn by sailors and soldiers

Until a police force, there was a parish constable assisted by Beadles.

The town has drifted from England or Wales but now definitely Welsh

Historic evidence right back to Bronze Age a boat building community
