A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Llanvihangel Crucorney from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "LLANVIHANGEL-CRUCORNEY, a village, a parish, and a [registration] sub-district, in Abergavenny [registration] district, Monmouth[shire]. The village stands on the river Monnow, adjacent to the Abergavenny and Hereford railway, near the boundary with Hereford, and under Skirrid-fawr mountain, 1 mile NNE of Llanfihangel [railway] station, and 4½ NNE of Abergavenny; and has a post office under Abergavenny.

Llanvihangel Court belonged to the Arnolds; passed, in the time of Queen Anne, to the Harleys; belongs now to the Hon. W. Rodney; is an ancient edifice; and has a remarkably grand avenue of firs. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Llandaff. Value: £281. Patron: the Prince of Wales. The church is good. Charities: £4.
In 1935 Llanvihangel Crucorney was abolished and replaced by the civil parish of Crucornau Fawr.
