Trelleck

Trelleck’s name means Three Stones and these large prehistoric monoliths can be found to the southwest of the village. For reasons unknown, they are called Harold’s Stones. They do not represent all the historical interest here, as the Parish Church of St Nicholas is also worth visiting. It dates from the 13th and 14th century, and stands on the site of a church built in the 7th century and endowed by the ancient kings of Gwent. The Preaching Cross in the churchyard probably dates from that period.  Close to the church a mound known as Tump Turret, which is all that remains of a Norman motte and bailey.

To the east of the village is the Virtuous Well, also called St Anne’s Well. The water is full of iron, and it was once drunk as a curative. In medieval times, Trelleck was one of the most important towns in Wales, and a local field, where stone and masonry have been discovered, is said to mark the location of its main buildings.

The village was the birthplace of the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872-1970). He was the grandson of the 1st Earl Russell.
