Pontrilas history

---

There has been a settlement in the area since at least 1086 when the hamlet was called Elwistone, possibly originating from the Welsh names Elwin or Helys. The name Pontrilas originally only belonged to the manor house Pontrillas Court, once one of the homes of the Baskerville family. With the coming of the Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford Railway line in 1854 the village grew in importance. Since the closing of the station in 1958 the village has declined in importance, though it does still boast an auction room.
