Weather Cock, St Cadoc's Church, Penygarn Road, Trevethin, Pontypool 19 August 2017
The gaudy weather cock on the tower of St Cadoc's.
A church was originally established at Trevethin in the 6th Century by Cadoc (Cattwg), eventually becoming a chapel of ease for Llanover.
The 15th Century building was radically altered in the mid 19th Century, only the tower remains from the original building. The grave of Pte Jobbins, a veteran of the defence of Rorke's Drift, was rediscovered a couple of years ago during a clearing of part of the very overgrown churchyard.
