FONMON, a village in Penmark parish, Glamorgan; near the coast, 5¼ miles SE of Cowbridge. Fonmon Castle is a late Norman or early English edifice; belonged to the St. Johns of Bletsoe; passed by sale to Col. Philip Jones, the famous Cromwellian leader; and is now the seat of R. O. Jones, Esq. Fonmon was often visited by John Wesley.
