About
St. Catwg, Cwmcarvan is a small church in a beautiful Monmouthshire farming area. The churchyard is a natural wildlife refuge with some rare plants and fungi.
The church is used for the festivals of the church year and for fellowship at other times. The very fine set of bells is currently out of use because the oak frame has become weakened with age – the church council hopes the bells can be rehung on a steel frame so that they will ring again.

History
St Catwg is a Grade II listed building included as medieval church retaining interesting original detail and with a fine early Tudor tower.
The Church is thought to be late C1 or early C14 and the tower was added or rebuilt about 1525. John Pritchard restored the church and rebuilt the Chancel in 1872-9.
