History

The church dates to around the twelfth century. The pointed chancel is from the following century, and was extended at a later (unclear) date. In 1880, the church underwent a major restoration by John Prichard, its north nave window dating from this period, though many of the other windows are considerably older.[1] At this time, a small tower that stood at the centre of the structure was removed and replaced with a (comparatively) large bell turret.[2] The names of the churchwardens in service in 1790 are carved on the porch. A second restoration occurred in 2001.

Organisation

The church is part of the Rectorial Benefice of Magor, in the deanery of Netherwent.[3]
