Benchmark and rivet, St Mary - Usk, Monmouthshire - European Historic Survey Stones, Monuments and Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Cut benchmark and rivet on the porch of St Mary's church, Usk. South East face, east angle.

"A Benedictine priory was founded at Usk in 1160 by Richard de Clare, nicknamed 'Strongbow'. Usk Priory was one of only 3 monastic houses for nuns in all of Wales before the Reformation. The Priory church served simultaneously as both the parish church and the nun's church. The original monastic building extended east and west of the striking tower, but later a north aisle was added to serve the townsfolk."
