Skenfrith - Church and village. Welcome to the web site of St. Bridget’s Church in Skenfrith. The church celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2007. We are one of four churches in the Grosmont Group, Church in Wales.
The Church in Wales is part of the world wide Anglican communion and the Grosmont Group is four parish churches.
We are set in a beautiful pastoral area on the Welsh border with England, north of Monmouth and to the east of Abergavenny. Explore the site to find out more about our church, its history and mission - and about the historic village of Skenfrith.
The church and medieval castle are at the centre of the village. Both buildings date from the early 13th century and were built on the land given to Guy de Burgh to hold for the crown. Many names in the history of the church and village are renowned in Welsh and English history.
