St Mary's Church, Norman parish church in Chepstow, Great Britain

The church structure exhibits local yellow Triassic sandstone construction with a long vaulted nave and an ornate western entrance doorway from the 11th century.

Founded in 1072 as a Benedictine priory by William FitzOsbern, the church underwent changes during the Dissolution of Monasteries in 1536 when most priory buildings were demolished.

The interior holds multiple monuments dedicated to local figures and contains a historic organ dating from the early 17th century.

The church opens daily from 10 AM to 4 PM, offering Sunday services at 8 AM and 11 AM, with additional Wednesday services at 10 AM.

The churchyard participates in a rewilding project that maintains areas of wildflowers and brambles to support local wildlife populations.
