It is not surprising there are so many welsh Place names in this area between the Severn and the Wye, I believe that at one time we were part of Wales and the Border with England was the Severn. Also People have moved back and forth over the Border for Work for centuries and where they have set up Home they have given it the same name as the place they came from. You will if you look at wales find Places with English Names too. Chepstow if I remember rightly means Sheep market.
