Kentchurch is a small village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England. It is located some 13 miles (21 km) south‑west of Hereford and 13 miles (21 km) north‑east of Abergavenny, beside the River Monnow and adjoining the boundary between England and Wales. The village name probably derives from an original dedication of the church to a 5th‑century nun, Cein, or her sister Ceingar, who were daughters of Brychan, king of Brycheiniog. The setting offers a quiet, rural atmosphere with proximity to both Hereford and the Welsh border, and the river provides a natural landmark. Residents benefit from a close-knit community and the tranquillity typical of a small parish while remaining within reasonable distance of larger towns.
