Welcome to St Peter's Church in the Parish of Llanwenarth Citra

St Peter’s Church is a small country church in a beautiful setting in the Usk valley just outside Abergavenny. Its near-circular churchyard would indicate that there has been a place of worship on this site since Celtic times. The church was once the parish church of Aberstruth which was a huge area stretching as far as Abertillery and Blaina to the south. In the 18th century, the two parishes of Llanwenarth Citra and Llanwenarth Ultra [the other side] [Govilon] were linked by a ferry across the Usk. The ferry closed in 1955.

It is a popular church for weddings – seating 100 -130 guests and also serves as a concert venue as it has a good acoustic.

We are extending the trial period of the earlier service time of 9.30 instead of 10.00.

Please check for time by phoning 01873 857392.  It will be 9.30 until further notice.

St Peter’s is now part of the Abergavenny Ministry Area which includes the St Mary’s, Holy Trinity and Christchurch, Abergavenny together with Llanfoist, Govilon and Llanellen churches

The Ministry Area Team Leader is Rev. Lea Ryder
