Church of St Thomas à Becket, Wolvesnewton

The Church of Saint Thomas à Becket in Wolvesnewton, Monmouthshire, Wales has its origins in the 13th century.

The medieval churchyard cross was restored as a First World War memorial in 1920 and has its own Grade II* listing.

[1] The church has some notable stained glass from the 20th century which John Newman suggests formed a memorial to the dead of World War II.

[2] Cadw also records this,[1] although the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies catalogue of church stained glass disagrees, indicating that the windows were a memorial to a member of the Hood family of Tredean House, Devauden.

[2] The base and the cross which tops the structure are 20th century in date, while the shaft and two of the steps are medieval.
