Church of St Paul, Newport
formerly in: Monmouthshire
Church (Anglican)
1835-36 by T. H. Wyatt, a rare example in Wales of pre-Gothic Revival 'Gothick'. According to Pryce's history of the church, however, the architect was Sir Digby Wyatt. (The newspaper account of the consecration in 1836 only refers to 'Mr Wyatt', who was present at the service.) Church re-ordered 1893 by Fawkner. The freehold site of the church was conveyed by Sir Charles Morgan, Bt. of Tredegar House, and the family remained pew-holders and benefactors of the church and parish into the twentieth century.
