# St Bridget, Skenfrith

St Bridget’s (also St Bride; Welsh Sant Ffraid) is a Grade I Church in Wales parish church at the north end of Skenfrith, Monmouthshire, about 100 metres north-west of Skenfrith Castle, in the Diocese of Monmouth.

## Overview

Cadw records the earliest phase as believed to date from the reign of King John (1199–1216), with aisles added or replaced in the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries (reference 2082; designated 19 November 1953). The church was repaired in the later seventeenth century; nave and chancel roofs were renewed in 1896 by E. G. Davies; William Weir of London restored it in 1909–10 in consultation with the S.P.A.B. It is reddish random rubble with a squat west tower of a Welsh-borders type, a low two-stage timber-framed ‘dovecote’ belfry and a pyramidal roof. The interior has four-bay aisle arcades, a font dated 1661, and the chest tomb of John Morgan (d. 1557), last governor of the Three Castles. Cadw lists it at Grade I as an important medieval church minimally restored, with an exceptionally good interior.
