Details

St Mary's Priory Church is the parish church for the town and community of Abergavenny and is one of the largest and finest parish churches in Wales. The parish stretches from the ancient Llanellen bridge to the top of the Sugar Loaf mountain – reputedly one of the ‘purple-headed mountains’ in the hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful.

Opening details

Visiting the church

The church is open for daily services and for visitors who wish to see the fine monuments or sit in quiet contemplation. Opening times are Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm until end of September. Outside these hours, there is a key available in the Tithe Barn reception (during office hours).

There is no charge, although St Mary’s does cost £400 per day to run so any voluntary contribution would be very gratefully received.

Please appreciate this is a working church and so access is subject to the services running and weddings/funerals etc.
