About Church of St Mary and St Michael, Llanarth

Religion, Churches, Interesting Places, Other Churches

The Church of St Mary and St Michael, Llanarth, Monmouthshire, was built as the family chapel for Llanarth Court. It was the first Roman Catholic church to have been constructed in the county since the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Built circa 1790, some decades before the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, it was designed to look like an orangery, or barn, in order not to attract anti-Catholic hostility. It is considered one of the oldest, if not the oldest, Catholic churches in Wales.
