St Bridget's Church, Skenfrith

Beautiful church

A good medieval church, well worth the visit if you're already at the castle. Plenty of interesting historical features inside, like medieval wall paintings and a large chest tomb.Unusual timber belfry more common further north in Shropshire; Clun, Hopesay, and More are all good examples. Some can be found in Powys too, like Bettws Cedewain, Kerry and Llanidloes.

Nice little church, some interesting graves. Slightly different architecture to a traditional Church with a speir, where this has a bell tower that looks like a dovecote. I would also take a look at the castle next door.

The wooden spire caught my eye being just across the road from Skenfrith Castle. Well worth a look inside. The church dates from 1637 and is still in use

Beautiful church with unusual wooden 'spire'. Good to hear that the bells were in good working condition - and that the clock was keeping good time.

Very peaceful.

Impressive.

A nice small church, worth a quick detour from the castle to look around. Pre-reformation originally with the Skenfrith Cope an item of note inside on display.

A lovely place to visit if you are in the area.Look out for the chest tomb of John Morgan, who died in 1557, who was a Member of Parliament for the Monmouth Boroughs, Steward of the Duchy of Lancaster and also a lectern that was commissioned in 1909 and is by the Arts and Crafts designer, George Jack, and incorporates a figure of St Bridget.There is parking here (51.87809680428079, -2.790591909573205) for a a dozen cars or so and the place is easy to visit.Off the B4347 from Monmouth and on to the B4521 takes you to Skenfrith.There are no facilities at the site.The site is popular in the summer months with locals sunbathing and swimming in the river close to Skenfrith castle..

Very nice and atmospheric.
