DescriptionUsk Priory Church (St.Mary) (28667673148).jpg
The Priory Church of St.Mary, Usk, Gwent, South Wales, 2 June 2018. Originated as 12th Century (c.1176) Norman church of Usk Priory, a Benedictine nunnery. In the 13th Century the Early English north aisle was added as a church for the local population and a screen erected between it and the nave where the nuns worshipped. In the 15th Century Perpendicular north and south aisles were added. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530's, the nunnery was demolished and the entire church became the parish church. In 1884 Thomas Henry Wyatt restored the church, added a sanctuary and lengthended the nave. In 1899-1900 a further restoration by G E Halliday occured including the reroofing of the nave and aisles. Pictured is the north and east elevations.
