Caldicot
Caldicot is a smaller sized town and community within Monmouthshire, southeast Wales. The name 'Caldicot' is generally thought to derive from the Old English phrase 'calde cot' which means 'cold hut'. A cold hut is an exposed shelter made use of by either humans or animals. As outlined by population estimates collected in 2014, the town has a population of about 11,424. Among the oldest buildings in Caldicot, Llanthony Secunda Manor was built about 1120 as a grange for monks from Llanthony Secunda Priory in Gloucester. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Caldicot grew 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 itself was not opened until 1936. Because of the industry attracted by the opening of the railway, Henry Hughes of Tintern opened a wireworks next to the railway in 1862, which was soon to develop into the village's primary employer and attracted numerous new workers. In 1880, it turned into a tinplate works for the canning industry. A notable landmark in the town is Court House, which was the house of baker Henry Jones, the creator of self-raising flour, from 1864 till his death in 1891. He's buried in the churchyard. Caldicot is also most famously referred to 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. To the north west, Dewstow House dates from about 1804. Extensive gardens and grottoes built after 1895 have been undergoing renovation since 2000 and are now open to the public. For all of your property improvements, make sure that you use reputable professionals in Caldicot to ensure you get the best quality service.
