St Thomas's Church, Medieval church in Overmonnow, Wales.
The stone building stands near the Monnow Bridge, featuring a Norman chancel arch and architectural elements from the twelfth century through Victorian times.
A papal edict by Pope Urban III documented the church in 1186, with the structure sustaining damage during the Battle of Monmouth in 1233.
The church maintains its original dedication to Saint Thomas à Becket and continues to function as a religious center for the local community.
The Grade II* listed building status requires specific permissions for any modifications, ensuring the preservation of historical architectural features.
The restoration in the nineteenth century incorporated materials from the Forest of Dean, including oak supplied by the Constable of St Briavels.
