Caldicot
Caldicot is a smaller sized town and community in Monmouthshire, southeast Wales. The term 'Caldicot' is generally thought to originate from the Old English phrase 'calde cot' which means 'cold hut'. A cold hut is an exposed shelter utilised by either humans or animals. According to population estimates from 2014, the town boasts a population of about 11,500. 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 19th century, Caldicot grew into a small farming village. However, the coming of the South Wales Railway brought London and Cardiff within fairly easy reach, even though Caldicot station itself was not finished until 1936. Due to the industry attracted by 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 main employer and attracted a lot 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 residence 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 called the location of Caldicot Castle and lake. The area has well known waymarked footpaths along the Caldicot Levels and also the coastal path can be walked. Neighbouring 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.
