Dec. 2024: "an accessible loo will be installed at the 1853 Grade II listed building as running water is put in for the first time. The funding has come from the Jane Hodge Foundation on the recommendation of the National Churches Trust (NCT).

It will also involve a new kitchen servery area being fitted.

The funding is part of £871,696 urgent funding payout from the NCT to help keep churches across the UK open and in use.

NCT chief executive Claire Walker said the funding for the "beautiful building" would "help to keep the church building open and serving local people".

Gareth Simpson of NCT Wales said: "Adding in toilets and kitchens to churches can make them a much more welcoming space for the community and help to create a sustainable income stream as it makes the building easier to hire out for events and meetings.""

Brief description

"This is the parish church of Risca, built on an historic site (Roman remains were found when the previous church was demolished in the 1850s). It contains interesting stained glass windows, and monumental inscriptions both inside and outside, including the graves of two victims of the 1860 colliery disaster." https://cadw.gov.wales/open-doors-st-marys-church-risca-0
