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 RRWR Trafford is Lord of the Manor. The Marquess of Abergavenny owns the other portion of the manor.
