GARWAY, a parish in the lower division, of the
hundred of WORMELOW, county of HEREFORD, 7 miles
(N. W.) from Monmouth, containing 522 inhabitants.
The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry
and diocese of Hereford, endowed with £200 private
benefaction, £800 royal bounty, and £1000 parliamentary
grant, and in the patronage of W. H. Jenkins, Esq.
The church is dedicated to St. Michael. Here is a place
of worship for Baptists. Mrs. Frances Scudamore, in
1716, bequeathed an estate, now producing a rental of
£64, in trust, to the minister and churchwardens of
Garway, Kentchurch, and Llangaron, for apprenticing
two or more children of one of those parishes every
year alternately; and the residue for distribution, in
like manner, among six poor widows.
