USK
including
GLASCOED and GWEHELLOG
USK is a market town and ancient borough, and head of a petty sessional division, parish and station on the Great Western railway, 157 miles north-west from London, 11 north-east from Newport, 13 south-west from Monmouth and 7 north-east from Pontypool, in the Southern division of the county, hundred of Usk, union of Pontypool, rural deanery of Usk, archdeaconry of Monmouth and diocese of Llandaff.
The town is seated on the banks of the river Usk, over which is a stone bridge of four arches, and is a place of remote antiquity, conjectured by some antiquaries to have been the “Burrium” of the Romans: the name Usk is derived from the Gaelic “Uisge,” which signifies water: here are the remains of an ancient castle, standing on an eminence overlooking the town: this place was of great importance during the wars between the Welsh and the Anglo-Normans, and at a later period in the time of the celebrated Owen Glendower: in the civil commotions between Charles I and the Parliamentarians the castle was repeatedly assaulted, and, together with the town, partly demolished: the present remains of the castle are of considerable extent, and partially covered with ivy, and is now the property of Albert Addams-Williams esq.
The town was incorporated by charters granted by Edmund de Mortimer, Earl of March and Ulster, Edward II, Edward IV, and succeeding monarchs.
The corporation consisted of a portreeve, recorder, two bailiffs, burgesses and four constables, but was abolished by the “Municipal Corporations Act, 1883” (46 and 47 vict. c. 18).
Usk, in connection with the corporate towns of Newport and Monmouth, forms the Monmouth Parliamentary district, returning one member to Parliament. The town adopted the Local Government Act, 1858 (21 and 22 Vict. c. 98), December 3, 1872, and was governed by a Local Board, until the “Local Government Act, 1894” (56 and 57 Vict. c. 73), established the present Urban District Council. The town is paved, and lighted with gas by a company, formed in 1851, and supplied with water from works at Pandy, the property of the Usk Water Works Co.
The church of St Mary is an ancient building of stone, with portions of Norman, Late Decorated and Perpendicular work. The building is of Anglo-Norman origin and was originally cruciform: the two arms of the cross or transepts have been destroyed, also the apse; it was formerly the church of a house of Benedictine nuns, founded here before 1174 by Sir A. de Clare. It now consists of chancel, nave, north aisle, two porches and a very large and handsome central embattled tower, with turret, and containing 7 bells; the nave, north aisle and tower formed part of the ancient conventual church, and the gateway of the nunnery also remains: the tower was repaired in 1870, and in 1875 covered with slate instead of stone tile: in the church are several brasses, with inscriptions, including one placed in 1890, in memory of Col. Roden, who was murdered in Corsica: and a monument, erected in 1822, to Mr. Roger Edwards, who, in 1621, founded the Free Grammar School here: there is a good choir screen and three memorial windows; the church affords 800 sittings, 300 being free; in the churchyard are many monuments, including several of the old family of Nicholl of Ham, designed by the late Sir Digby Wyatt B.A. to whom there is also a memorial, erected by his brother.
The registers, including those of Gwehellog and Glascoed, date from 1742. The living is a vicarage, net income £188, with 1 acre of glebe and residence, in the gift of Albert Addams-Williams esq. and held since 1892 by the Rev. Percy Louis Charles Nash B.A. of Hatfield Hall, Durham University, who is also vicar of Monkswood. On the south-east of the church stands the Priory, which was rebuilt some years since, and the existing remains preserved as far as practicable.
The Catholic chapel, Porth-y-Carne street, dedicated to St. Francis Xavier, was erected in 1847; it is in the Gothic style, and was erected from designs furnished by the late Mr. Hansom, and has 120 sittings: at the back of the chapel is a small burial ground: the Rev. Joseph Hurley is the priest.
The Baptist chapel, Old Market street, was erected in 1842, and will seat 300.
The Congregational chapel, Twyn, erected in 1862, at a cost of £1,200, is a stone building in the Gothic style with a turret for one bell and has sittings for 400 persons.
The Wesleyan chapel, Maryport street, erected in the year 1817, has sittings for 350 persons.
The Court House, adjoining the prison, in which the Quarter Sessions are now held and county business transacted, is a large and handsome edifice of stone, which was completed and opened on the 16th of October, 1877, at a cost exceeding £15,000.
The Town Hall, in which Quarter Sessions until the last few years were held, is now used for public meetings. and entertainments.
Her Majesty’s prison, in Maryport street, is a large. building of stone. arranged to hold about 200 prisoners on the separate system. There is a residence for the governor and the matron within the walls. The Rev.William Jones, of St. David’s College, Lampeter and rector of Llansoy, is chaplain.
There are two banks, a branch of the London and Provincial Bank Limited and the Capital and Counties Bank Limited. The market is held on Friday and a cattle market the first and third Monday in every month. Fairs are held on 20th April, wool fair Trinity Monday, 29th October, and Christmas fair on the 16th December. Wood turning and chair making is carried on. There is a Working Men’s Conservative Club with about 90 members. The ‘G’ Company 4th Volunteer Battalion, South Wales Borderers, have head quarters in the town.
At Llangeview, about 3 miles from Usk, are almshouses, founded by Roger Edwards, for 12 poor persons, each of whom receives £16 yearly; attached to the building is a chapel, with a chaplain appointed by the trustees: the chaplaincy has been held since 1897 by the Rev. William Watkin Jones, vicar of Llantrissant: a surgeon also is provided and paid by the trust, the present medical attendant being George Harrison Jenkins esq. : the almshouses were rebuilt on their old site in 1826.
The Duke of Beaufort is lord of the manor. The principal landowners are Sir Arthur John Fludyer bart. of Ayston Hall, Rutland, the trustees of George Whitlock Nichol csq. (d. 1889), John Jenkins esq. Albert Addams-Williams esq. and Col. Francis McDonnell.
The soil is Silurian, and the subsoil, sand and gravel.
