Dixton () is a small village located north east of Monmouth, on the banks of the River Wye, in Monmouthshire, south east Wales. The parish originally comprised the two manors of Dixton Newton and Dixton Hadnock, on either side of the river.
==Dixton: Hadnock, Newton and Wyesham== According to the antiquarian Sabine Baring-Gould the name Dixton ultimately derives from that of the saint Tydiwg, or Tydiuc, to whom the parish church was dedicated. The Welsh name Llandydiwg became, in English, Dukeston and later Dixton. The parish originally comprised the two manors of Dixton Newton and Dixton Hadnock on either side of the river. In 1868 Dixton was described as being named Dixton Newton but containing the hamlets of Dixton Hadnock and Wyesham. The village name was also offered as Newton-Dixton. By 1901 the name was clearly Dixton but with Dixton Newton still offered as an alternative.
