Church Street, Pedestrian street in Monmouth, Wales

Church Street features a continuous row of three-story stuccoed terraces housing independent shops, restaurants, art galleries, and the Savoy Theatre.

Originally known as Butcher's Row in 1610 due to its association with the meat trade, the street underwent significant improvements funded by MP Sir John Stepney.

The Grade II listed Savoy Theatre on Church Street maintains its status as the oldest operating theatre location in Wales, serving the community since 1832.

The street connects directly to Priory Street, constructed in 1837, and provides access to numerous retail establishments, including greengrocers, butchers, and clothing stores.

Before the 1830s renovation, every doorway contained a pent-house with a seat where residents observed their neighbors' daily activities.
