The Church of St Cadoc, Penrhos, Monmouthshire is a parish church with its origins in the 15th century. Restored in the 19th century, it remains an active parish church, and has recently undergone major renovation. The church is a Grade II* listed building.

History[]

The church is 15th century in origin, in a Perpendicular style.[1] The church was restored in 1848 and again, under the direction of the architect John Prichard, in 1878.[1] The tower was restored in 1905.[1] By 2016 the church was in a poor state of repair and the nave was inaccessible, due to safety concerns.[2] Restoration works have now been completed, supported by a grant of £121,00 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.[3]

Architecture and description[]

The church is built of Old Red Sandstone.[4] The style is Perpendicular.[4]
