Notes: | The Craig-y-Dorth Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this Monmouthshire village. Craig-y-Dorth or ‘hill of the loaf’ is represented here by a red heraldic loaf within an inverted yellow triangle. . On either side are two golden wyverns couchant facing each other as in battle. One is on a blue background, while the other is on red. The wyvern – forerunner of the Welsh dragon — appeared on the battle standard of Owain Glyndŵr, Prince of Wales. In 1404, Glyndŵr’s army defeated troops of Henry IV at Craig-y-Dorth, driving them back to Monmouth Castle. The blue of the flag represents the blue of the old Kingdom of Gwent, which also appears in the Monmouthshire Flag. The red derives from Glyndŵr’s battle standard. |
