More about this scene

Llanover is the village where Augusta Waddington, Lady Llanover, made it her mission to revive Welsh language and culture. An English woman, she was a prime mover in the Cymreigyddion, the Abergavenny Welsh Society, formed in 1833. She is buried with her husband Sir Benjamin Hall (after whom Big Ben was named) in Llanover churchyard, to the left of the path. The inscriptions on the large family tomb are, appropriately, bilingual.

According to Kelly's Directory for Monmouthshire (1901) his salary was £190 per annum with residences and 18 acres of glebe.
