Church of the Week
Newbridge, Gwent
Built in the late 1930s,Newbridge Our Lady of Peace consists of a tall basilica style church with a five storey bell tower. The London-based architect PD Hepworth designed the church. Hepworth’s works were described by architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner in 1954 as in the Swedish style of c.1925 which became so popular in England amongst those who were not satisfied to be imitatively neo-Georgian nor modern. We were delighted to award Our Lady of Peace a significant grant, along with the Wolfson Foundation, to carry out urgent repairs and engage the local community with the building.
