There is a public school in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, called Scarborough College and Lisvane School. Is the Lisvane here, named after Lisvane near Cardiff? Or does the word Lisvane have a meaning other than being a place name or a person's name?

Also, is there a connection between Llysfaen in North Wales and Lisvane?

In name only. The English Lisvane is a corruption of the Welsh Llys-faen.

I am from Lisvane - Llysfaen, and I was led to believe that the translation of Llysfaen meant Court or Gathering place of kings. There is a local legend that talks of Llysfaen being an area attributed to a Welsh version of King Arthur

Never heard of any assoiciation with Lisvane and King Arthur, lots of places in Thornhill named after Arthurian legend. But I remember being told as a child, I cannot remember whom told me, but the lump of rock near the summit of Lisvane Graig was said to be the stone Arthur pulled Excaliber from, who knows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by David dudley90 (talk • contribs) 20:12, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment - Class B

I have assessed this article as Class B, however there are very few references, especially in the history section. If this article is ever to become a Good Article, more work needs to be done on citing sources. All the best. Seth Whales (talk) 15:15, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
