  • History

    Monmouthshire's Welsh status was ambiguous until the 1960s. Previously the legal formula had been to refer to 'Wales and Monmouthshire'. In popular usage it had been considered part of Wales for many centuries. The ambiguity surrounding its status arose from its not being mentioned in the second 'Act of Union' between England and Wales in the 16th century.
