Along with its rich history and spectacular scenery, the county of
Monmouthshire is home to a great many curious and unusual
buildings, objects and landscape features that have survived the
centuries. Mike Hall condenses the area's long and fascinating
history into a collection of memorable 'curiosities' that are still
to be seen today. Visitors - and even residents - frequently walk
by some of these age-old fragments of the past without fully
realising just what they are, or how they relate to Monmouthshire's
past. This well-illustrated book is a guide to 100 of these
remarkable sights, including the largest lump of coal in the world,
the church which still bears the marks of the great tsunami flood
of 1607, and the grave of a Rorke's Drift VC winner. Monmouthshire
Curiosities will encourage readers to explore the remoter parts of
the Welsh Borders and perhaps make their own curious discoveries.
