St Mapley’s is a small medieval parish church in the farmland east of Abergavenny, in one of the villages ringing the Skirrid. Its unusual dedication is a Welsh form tied to the place-name Llanvapley. A quiet country church, open to visitors, worth a look if you are exploring the lanes here. Abergavenny station is about 6km away.
