How Maggie put the Gazetteer together
Maggie Riches and the Gazetteer she made to feature all the beautiful churches in the Monmouth Ministry Area

Welcome to our fellowship. Services are happening, events are being planned. Join us! And not just on Sunday.
On this website you’ll find all of our parishes, each with their long history and unique identity. Here too are times and locations of worship and other events so you can plan to celebrate with us as part of God’s family. You might have to book for a service because of Covid restrictions. But things are easing and some choirs are now practising, getting ready for the day we can sing again!
Our video fellowship is here too, just below. You can subscribe to Monmouth Praise! Weekly on YouTube. We warmly invite you to join us, online or in church.
Update on latest Covid-19 restrictions
Up to 30 people can now take part in organised indoor activities, depending on space, and up to 50 people in organised outdoor activities. So please find a place to worship with us.
Monmouth Praise! Weekly Sunday 20th June
This week: news from St. Mary Tregaer; tidying up the grounds of St. Mary’s Priory Monmouth ready for the first post-lockdown wedding reception; how Maggie Riches put together the Gazetteer for all of the churches in the ministry area and why she was surprised how many Grade 1 and Grade 2* churches there are here.
Monmouth Praise! Weekly 13th June
This week: the story of St. Denis’s church – or is it St. Dennis’s or St. Ishen’s? – and why did the vicar bury the Bible in his garden? Also, an update from St. Michael’s Mitchel Troy, where building work is well underway to open the church to a wider community. And a poem about the spirit of Christianity from the Welsh poet Harri Webb.
