Note 322 — LLANTHONY ABBEY, Monmouthshire.
Reading edition
The name of the place in Welsh, as he explains it, is Nanthodeni. Nant signifies a running stream, from whence this place is still called by the inhabitants, Llandevi Nantodeni, or, the Church of St. David upon the river Hodeni. By the English, therefore, it is corruptly called Llanthoni; whereas it should either be called Nanthodeni, that is, the brook of the Hodeni, or Lanthodeni, the church upon the Hodeni.
