Cefntilla Court, two miles northeast of Usk, is the family home of Lord Raglan since 1861.
A museum at Cefntilla Court displays a few relics of the Crimean War.
The First Baron Raglan commanded British troops in the Crimea and was responsible
for the Charge of the Light Brigade. He didn't actually join the charge - he observed it through
a telescope from a nearby hill. Those into knitting sweaters would know of 'Raglan sleeves',
and another knitted garment to come out of the war was the balaclava.
