Caldicot
Caldicot is a small town and community in Monmouthshire, southeast Wales. The term 'Caldicot' is generally believed to originate from the Old English phrase 'calde cot' meaning 'cold hut'. A cold hut is an exposed shelter utilised by either humans or animals. As outlined by population estimates collected in 2014, the town features a permanent population of 11,500. One of the oldest buildings in Caldicot, Llanthony Secunda Manor was built around 1120 as a grange for monks from Llanthony Secunda Priory in Gloucester. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Caldicot grew into a little farming village. However, the introduction of the South Wales Railway brought London and Cardiff within comparatively easy reach, although Caldicot station was not opened till 1936. Due to the business which was attracted by the railway, Henry Hughes of Tintern built a wireworks next to the railway in 1862, which was soon to develop into the village's principal employer and attracted a lot of new workers. In 1880, it became a tinplate works for the canning industry. A notable landmark in the town is Court House, which was the residence of baker Henry Jones, the creator of self-raising flour, from 1864 until his death in 1891. He's buried in the churchyard. Caldicot is also most famously called the location of Caldicot Castle and lake. The area has popular footpaths along the Caldicot Levels and the coastal path may be walked.
