Llanwenarth Baptist Church
Govilon, Gwent
Home of the oldest continuing Baptist fellowship in Wales, founded in 1652; the building itself is Grade II* listed and in the style of the 1870s.
We welcome visitors to appreciate the beautiful building and peaceful atmosphere. We have a very old churchyard, surrounded by a wall and containing two ancient yew trees. The churchyard is maintained for the benefit of wildlife and wildflowers, and you're guaranteed to see plenty of both! We have our Bronze Eco Church award and are working towards our silver award.
We have some notable stained glass windows, which you can read more about here.
We have a Friend's Association, which enables those who may not be regular worshippers but come to church for major family occasions or simply value all this historic religious building means to the community, to play their part in supporting St Catwg’s church. There is also a team of bellringers, a Sunday School, a choir and a warm welcome for all!
