Llanrumney, Monmouthshire

Llanrumney is a suburb of Cardiff, lying east of the Rhymney River in Monmouthshire. The land where modern Llanrumney stands was left to Keynsham Abbey by the Lord of Glamorgan after the Norman Conquest. According to legend, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the final prince of an independent Wales, was interred in a stone coffin by the monks in 1282, on land where Llanrumney Hall would be built centuries later. The modern housing is almost entirely post World War II. Llanrumney is within the council area of Cardiff.
