St Peter's Church, Medieval parish church in Dixton, Wales
Description
St Peter's Church is a medieval place of worship in Dixton that stands on the banks of the River Wye with whitewashed stone walls. The building contains a nave, chancel, vestry, west tower, and north and south porches.
History
A church on this site appears in the Book of Llandaff around 735, while the current structure still contains Saxon stonework in its north wall. This combination of early and later building phases shows how long the site has been in use.
Culture
The stained glass windows inside show religious scenes and figures created by skilled Victorian artists. These artworks shape how the interior space looks and feels.
Practical
Access is provided via a ramp and parking is available nearby for visitors. Walkers and cyclists have a dedicated rest area during their journey.
Did you know?
Brass plates near the chancel mark the height of past floods and show how often the building has been affected by water over time. A newer balcony now protects valuable items from future water rise.
