In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Pontrilas like this:
PONTRILAS, a place on the S W border of Herefordshire; on the river Dore, near its influx to the Monnow, and on the Hereford and Abergavenny railway, 11½ miles S W of Hereford. It has a station on the railway, and a post-office under Hereford. Pontrilas Court is the seat of J. Watson, Esq.
Pontrilas is now part of HEREFORDSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how HEREFORDSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Pontrilas itself, go to Statistics.
