All Saints Newbridge-on -Wye


I have passed this church many times on my way to Rhayader though only the other week managed to stop off for a visit. There is very little history I can find on the church other than this
"This Victorian built church was designed by S. W. Williams, and erected in 1883 with later additions. A rather attractive exterior, and located on the side of the A470 in the village of Newbridge-on-Wye."







Couple of views showing the church  and the entrance to the churchyard
Looking back to the road




The East end of the church




and around to the South side




















Above the West end is nearly on the boundary of the churchyard so nigh on imposable to get a good photo of





















Going around the North side where there is an entrance to the vestry and the main one under the spire




Above the north side of All Saints with the spire

Left the churchyard over to the South of the church



It looks quite full and most of the headstones are in good condition




Above the carving on the cross caught my eye.

Left looking west on the churchyard





Over to the far South side were the more modern headstones are

Aircraftman 2nd Class F T Pritchard who died in 1942, his wife with buried with him when she died in 1966





Some of the older crosses




The churchyard I notice is one that has more crosses than others I have visited





Near the boundary you can find these family vaults
The church was locked when I visited so no internal shots this week
Have a peaceful weekend
