Caldicot
Caldicot is a small town and community within Monmouthshire, southeast Wales. The name 'Caldicot' is generally thought to come from the Old English phrase 'calde cot' which means 'cold hut'. A cold hut is an exposed shelter utilised by either humans or animals. As measured by population estimates from 2014, the town boasts a population of approximately 11,424. One of the oldest buildings in Caldicot, Llanthony Secunda Manor was built around 1120 as a grange for monks from Llanthony Secunda Priory in Gloucester. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Caldicot developed into a small farming village. Even so, the introduction of the South Wales Railway brought London and Cardiff within fairly easy reach, though Caldicot station was not finished until 1936. Because of the business attracted by the introduction of the railway, Henry Hughes of Tintern built a wireworks next to the railway in 1862, which was soon to come to be the village's primary employer and attracted lots of new workers. In 1880, it became a tinplate works for the canning business. A popular landmark in the town is Court House, which was the home of baker Henry Jones, the inventor of self-raising flour, from 1864 until his death in 1891. He is buried in the churchyard. Caldicot is also most famously known as the location of Caldicot Castle and lake. The area has well-known waymarked footpaths along the Caldicot Levels and the coastal path may be walked. Nearby tourist attractions are Caerwent and Wentwood. Towards the north west, Dewstow House dates from about 1804. Extensive gardens and grottoes constructed after 1895 have been undergoing restoration since 2000 and are now open for the public.
