"MALPAS, a parish in the upper division of the hundred of Wentllooge, county Monmouth, 1 mile N.W. of Newport, its post town. The parish, which is of small extent, is situated on the Brecon canal, near the river Usk. There was formerly a Cluniac cell to Montacute Priory, in Somersetshire, founded by William de Balun in the reign of Henry I., which at the Dissolution was given to the Herberts. The land is nearly evenly divided between arable and pasture." [Description(s) from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868)
