History & amenities[]

St Bartholomew's church

Llanover is associated with Augusta Lady Llanover who lived locally all her life and left her mark on the village and the surrounding Llanover Hall estate, still privately owned today. Her husband Sir Benjamin Hall became Baron Llanover. Her sisters, diplomatic hostess and author Frances Bunsen and Emily grew up there, educated by their mother Georgina Mary Ann, (née Port) (1771–1850), with Augusta and Frances surviving to become co-heiresses to the estate from their father Benjamin Waddington.^[4]

The village church is dedicated to St. Bartholomew and is a grade II* listed building.^[5]

The River Usk flows close by, and to the west lies the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal, a scenic recreational boating route.

More recently, Llanover is the birthplace of Penelope Fillon, the wife of François Fillon, former Prime Minister of France and right-wing candidate in the 2017 French presidential elections.
