St Mary's Priory Church, Grade II* listed Anglican church in Monmouth, Wales
The church stands on Whitecross Street with its spire reaching 60 meters high, featuring an Old Red Sandstone tower from the fourteenth century.
The church originated in 1075 as a Benedictine priory founded by Withenoc, a Breton lord, and received consecration in 1101 in the presence of William fitzBaderon.
The interior contains stained glass windows created by Charles Eamer Kempe, including the Four Rivers of Paradise window and two additional chapels.
Services include Said Eucharist at 8:00 AM on first and third Sundays, Sung Eucharist at 10:00 AM, and Evensong at 6:00 PM.
The churchyard contains John Renie's gravestone, which features an intricate acrostic puzzle design that earned its own Grade II listed status.
