Llangovan (cy|Llangofan) is a small village in Monmouthshire, south east Wales, United Kingdom. It is located south west of Monmouth.
Llangovan is close to Monmouth, the county town and is set in a rural area of rolling hills beneath the Trellech ridge. The Church of St Govan is a Grade II* Listed Building. It is now closed and has a colony of bats.[1] [2] The churchyard contains an ornate medieval stone cross[3] which is a Grade II listed building and a Scheduled monument.
At Llanwinney are the remains of a chapel which bears the inscription "Bethel Chapel Erected in 1841".[4] Nearby Court St. Lawrence, once home of Sir Geoffrey David Inkin, the High Sheriff of Gwent, is also a Grade II listed building. In 2007 Penyclawdd and Llangovan Village Hall was completely refurbished.[5]
