St Mellon's Church, Medieval parish church in Old St Mellons, Wales.
The stone building features a prominent tower, double arch leading to the chancel, and traditional stained glass windows throughout its structure.
The first recorded mention of St Mellon's Church dates to 1301, with portions of a Norman pier still present in the baptismal font.
The Welsh name Eglwys Llaneirwg reflects early Christian missionary activities, linking to both Saint Melaine and Bishop Mellonius from the 6th century.
The church maintains its role as an active place of worship within the Church in Wales Diocese of Monmouth, serving the local community.
The doors of the church incorporate wood salvaged from dismantled World War I warships, including materials from HMS Temeraire.
