The southern edge of Llantarnam Abbey. Llantarnam Abbey was founded in 1179 by Hywel ab Iorwerth, lord of Caerleon. Nothing is left of the medieval buildings. The site is believed to have been extensively redeveloped by William Morgan, who bought most of the abbey’s lands after the dissolution of the monasteries (1536-1541) in the reign of Henry VIII. Extensive rebuilding was again carried out in 1834-5. Since 1946, the Abbey has been the provincial headquarters of the Sisters of St Joseph of Annecy.
