Flemingston

Flemingston () (previously known in English as Michaelston Le Mont, Flimston or Flimstone, and in Welsh as Lanmihangel y Twyn) is a small village in the Vale of Glamorgan in south Wales. It is located northwest by road from the town centre of Barry. It contains the Church of St. Michael the Archangel, the ruins of Flemingston Court, and Flemingston Manor or Grange, all of which are listed buildings. Historically, the parish of Flemingston was a sub-manor of Aberthaw or St Athan.

==Etymology== The village was anciently known as Lanmihangel y Twyn (the Llan of Saint Michael on the hillock), following the Norman invasion of Wales this name was commonly transliterated into Michaelston Le Mont. Robert Fitzhamon gifted both the castle and the "Lordship of St George" to Sir John le Fleming, whose family maintained possession for generations. As such, the names Flimston, Flimstone and Flemingston gradually came into use. The Welsh version of this name, Trefflemin is a modern appellation.
