In depth

The fuller history

The origins of the church date from the 14th century, though almost nothing remains of this period. In the early 19th century, the Monmouthshire antiquarian Charles Heath described the original church, "it is a mean building and has nothing to attract the eye of curiosity, consisting only of a nave without side-isles". The tower was rebuilt in 1846 by the architect T. H. Wyatt, who worked extensively in Monmouthshire. Later in the 19th century further renovations took place under the supervision of Richard Creed. The church remains an active parish church.
