Trallong (Welsh: Y Trallwng) is a village and community in Powys, Wales, in the historic county of Brecknockshire.
Description
The community of Trallong is made up of the villages of Trallong, the hamlets of Soar,
electoral ward
.
Notable people
Trallong was mentioned by the 12th-century poet
Benedictine monk and served as a missionary in England during the period of recusancy
. He was martyred at Tyburn and beatified by Pope Pius XI in 1929.
Places of worship
The parish church is dedicated to St David and is located in the village centre, close to the village hall. The former Salem Calvinistic Methodist Chapel was built in 1831 on the road leading west to Trallong Common. It closed in the 20th century and is now a residence. The Soar Baptist church, built in 1827 and rebuilt in 1874 remains open in 2017.
Railway
The community was once crossed by the
Aberbran and private halts on the south side of the line for both the Penpont and Abercamlais estates.[3] The overbridge on the approach road to Abercamlais remains as of 2017 as do the large masonry abutments each side of the River Usk
where the railway crossed it just south of Trallong Common.
