replies: text: I added a comment at BLB, but it doesn't seem to have posted yet. I got a message at posting that it goes into a queue to be reviewed before it's officially posted. I gave them the link you provided so I'm guessing the comment will be posted or the address will be removed in time.--CaroleHenson (talk) 23:09, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: That's a very interesting map. It really helps illustrate the impact of the main road, I'm guessing from 1970, on the castle grounds.--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:09, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it was the building of the interchange that had the biggest effect - the Castle is just that much more isolated and difficult to get to. But Newport was badly in need of road modernisation. That narrow funnel, between Stow Hill and the Usk, is quite cramped. At least the name lives on in "Old Green Crossing", I guess.

message: Not sure what "is this MOS?" from the edit summary means. If it's about having a section that pre-dates the subject of the article, removed the section and made it a note.--CaroleHenson (talk) 22:57, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Yep, I saw that. I just wasn't sure what you meant (i.e., there's a LOT of content in MOS), especially since the edit summary was formed as a question, which to me meant something more needed to be done.--CaroleHenson (talk) 23:03, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I just thought "pre-14th" was MOS. Whatever, I think what you have done is fine. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:08, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Is this MOS?

message: Sir William Herbert of St Julians leased the castle beginning 1548. It seems that this may be William Herbert (MP fl.1555), but I'm not sure. 
From the article about William Herbert (MP fl.1555), his father was named Walter Herbert, so if that's right, it's not him. It seems possible, but is not clear, that it's the (MP fl.1555). 
Is it known if the William Herbert that leased the castle was William Herbert, MP? I'll keep researching, but if it's known that would help!--CaroleHenson (talk) 23:42, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  William Herbert 

message: I'm getting confused looking for source information for this:
:"It is the castle that gives Newport its name in the Welsh language, Castell Newydd, shortened to Casnewydd ('New Castle'). The 'new' is a comparison with the 'old' Roman fortress at nearby Caerleon or possibly the older motte and bailey castle on Stow Hill."
Based upon the dates (Henry II, pre 14th century) in which Castel Newydd or Cas Newydd were used, it appears that the "new castle" may refer to the previous castle in Newport (Stow Hill) - that was a new castle for a pre-14th century lord (not finding his name now). Any info about this to help clarify whether there's a direct connection between the use of Castell Newydd for the 14th century Newport Castle?--CaroleHenson (talk) 02:48, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
