St Mary
Newport, Gwent
Beautiful gothic style church built in 1839 with impressive integral tower and stained glass.
A grant made thanks to the 2012-13 Capital Grant Scheme from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, administered by the National Churches Trust. Situated in a deprived suburb of Newport, the Grade II church was built on the site of a 12th century Clunaic monastic cell, with the current neo-Norman Gothic building rebuilt in 1850. The grant was to help construct a meeting room, provide disabled access and a small kitchen. Use of the enhanced facilities will include surgery sessions for a Parish Nurse scheme and activities for teenagers.
