Monington (Welsh: Eglwys Wythwr) is a small settlement and parish in the community of Nevern, north Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is on the Nant Ceibwr (Ceibwr Stream) that flows through Moylegrove and into Ceibwr Bay. Part of the parish lies within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
Monington's Welsh name translates into English as the "church of eight men", reflecting the fact that there were eight freeholders in the parish when it was founded.[1] The origin of the English name is obscure.
