CRUMLIN PARISH

Introduction

Crumlin (Welsh: Crymlyn) is a town, community and electoral ward in Caerphilly county borough in South Wales. It is situated in the Ebbw River valley, 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Pontypool, within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire. The name is said to be derived from cromlech, a type of megalithic construction. Kelly's Directory of South Wales (1895) noted that Crumlin was "a secluded village, scarcely known to any beyond the few persons resident there". It considered Crumlin one of the most picturesque spots in the county, surrounded by natural features of "unsurpassed loveliness". The village sits in the South Wales Coalfield and in the neighbouring quarries are often found fine fossils of calamites and lepidodendron; and, in the shale outcrops, fossil ferns and other cryptogamic plants.
