History and amenities
In around 860, Britcon and Iliuc gave Lann Mocha (St Maughans) to Archbishop Dyfrig with the consent of King Meurig ab Arthfael.[1]
St Maughans is close to the River Monnow and the border with England. The parish contains the Hilston Park.
The village has a church dedicated to Saint Maughan, which dates from the 12th or 13th century and has a distinctive local dovecote belfry. The church was much restored by the architect J. P. Seddon in 1865/6.[2]
The village has given its name to the St Maughans Formation, the lowest Devonian rocks of the Old Red Sandstone.
