What is recorded here

Moynes Court stands in Mathern, Monmouthshire, where a fourteenth-century gatehouse still guards the remains of an older moated castle. Francis Godwin, Bishop of Llandaff, rebuilt the house around 1609, leaving his crest above the entrance and shaping the residence that survives today. The grounds keep faint earthworks from the earlier fortification, suggesting that the court has repeatedly been remade rather than simply built.

Moynes Court is shown as a castle on the public map of Monmouthshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Moynes Court was a medieval manor house or fortified residence, likely held by the influential Morgan family from the 13th century onwards. It is remembered for its historical association with the Morgans of Tredegar and its strategic position in Monmouthshire.
