Background
History
The origins of the church date from the 14th century, though almost nothing remains of this period. In the early 19th century, the Monmouthshire antiquarian Charles Heath described the original church, "it is a mean building and has nothing to attract the eye of curiosity, consisting only of a nave without side-isles". The tower was rebuilt in 1846 by the architect T. H. Wyatt, who worked extensively in Monmouthshire.
Architecture
The church is built of sandstone and puddingstone rubble. The church is a Grade II* listed building, its listing recording the building as "the principal architectural feature in the village of Dingestow".
