Observations:
Local farmers are named. The area, population, rateable value, main crops, geology and other details of the township are given. The architecture of the church is described, and it was restored in 1877 at a cost of £500. There is reference to the renowned St Thomas’s Well, which is said to have curative properties. Llanveynoe is in the portion of Ewyas Lacy for which the trustees of the late HR Trafford are Lords of the Manor. The Marquess of Abergavenny owns the other portion of the manor.
This directory is not comprehensive in its coverage of all farms and commercial premises in the parish at the time. Also, in the transcribed lists of properties that are named, spellings in the original have sometimes been amended to reflect more common usage. In case of doubt please refer to the image of the original entry.
