The Priory Church of St Mary

            The town of Chepstow in Monmouthshire, Wales UK.

Built for the Priory, a place of Christian worship for over 900 years. Little is left of the original building, with only the lower half of the West front (facing you), the walls of the nave and the base of a pier that supported the tower surviving. The church was divided, parishioners using the nave and the monks the the chancel and transepts. After the dissolution, the nave remained in use, and the rest decayed, resulting in the collapse of the central tower in  c. 1700.
 In 1706 a smaller tower in Queen Anne style was built above the original West front with its Norman carved decoration. In 1841, extensive alterations were made, including the removal of the side aisles. Later this work was considered disastrous, and from 1889 there were nearly two decades of further restoration, including attempts to reverse the earlier damage.

This text is taken from the plaque, in the pavement, at the font of the church.
