Govilon was only 1 kilometre from the county border with Breconshire. Source: KAIN, Roger J. P., and OLIVER, Richard R. (2001) "Historic Parishes of England & Wales - An Electronic Map of Boundaries before 1850 with a Gazetteer and Metadata", History Data Service, University of Essex, Colchester. ISBN 0-9540032-0-9. In 1865, the parish of Llanwenarth Ultra was formed out of part of Llanwenarth, with Christ Church as its parish church. The parish records are with the Gwent County Records Office at Cwmbrân.
