Brief description
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Pierre,_Monmouthshire
"The church of St Peter is a Grade II listed building. It is Norman in origin, with the earliest records dating to 1254. The nave is Norman, but little remains of the Norman fabric. The chancel was added in the 14th century. New windows and fittings were installed in the 16th century. The church was restored in the Victorian manner by A. W. Maberly of Gloucester in 1873 to 1875, when altar front, screen and font were reinstalled, these having been removed during the Commonwealth period. The church was further restored by Eric Francis in the early 20th century.[6][7]
It has been suggested that the church may be of Saxon origin.[8] It has a Norman doorway and windows, but was largely rebuilt in later centuries. In the chancel are two ancient stone coffin lids, each bearing an inscription in Norman French, one to Urien de St Pierre, lord of the manor, who died in 1239 and the other to a contemporary cleric of the church, Rector Benet.[9] There are also numerous wall-mounted monuments to members of the Lewis family.[10]
The church is adjacent to the main house, now the country club, and is in the parish of Mathern. There are weekly Sunday morning services.[11] "
