SO4810 : Western boundary of Mitchel Troy, Monmouthshire
taken 13 years ago, near to Mitchel Troy, Monmouthshire/Sir Fynwy, Wales
Western boundary of Mitchel Troy, Monmouthshire
Formerly part of the A40, the road is now a relatively quiet route through the village of Mitchel Troy. Most traffic uses the modern-day A40, to the north.
Mitchel Troy is in NE Monmouthshire, about 3 miles SW of the town of Monmouth.
The Troy part of its name is a variant of Trothy (Troddi in Welsh), a tributary of the River Wye. There are two theories about Mitchel - it could be a variant of Michael, from the name of the village church,
St Michael and All Angels, or perhaps a variant of the Old English mickle, (much or great) to distinguish the village from the nearby manor of Troy Parva.
