St Bridget's Skenfrith
St. Bridget's is an ancient church, consecrated in 1207, which has seen the worship of God through many centuries.
This is one of the oldest churches in continuous use in Monmouthshire. The massive original altar stone has 5 incised crosses. It was hidden in the floor to save it from destruction in the Reformation (1550 - 1599). The church has been repaired, extended and re-ordered many times. Major work was done in 1663, a date found in several places in the church, and again in 1909-10, using the principles of the Art and Craft Movement lead by William Morris (1888). Repairs in 2011-12 re-instated the stone roof tiles and conserved the internal plaster and wall paintings.
