Tutshill Places Overview: History, Culture & Facts about Tutshill

---

Tutshill history

---

The name derives from the ruined “tut”, a local term for watchtower, on top of the hill overlooking the River Wye and its ancient crossing point at Castleford. The tower is of uncertain date, and has been suggested as either an Anglo-Norman watchtower linked to Chepstow Castle, or a later windmill. By 1856 Tutshill was already a minor centre with two public-houses, a shop, a post office, a solicitor’s office, and a private school.
