It is situated on the banks of the River Wye, about 1 mile (1.6 km) north-east of Monmouth, Wales.

[4] The existing church, now substantially rendered and whitewashed, consists of a nave with a separate chancel, a vestry, a tower to the west, and north and south porches.

[2] The oldest parts of the building, including the herring-bone masonry in the north wall of the nave, may have an Anglo-Saxon origin[2] or, alternatively, date from the 12th century.

[5] A small window in the southwest corner dates from the early 14th century; even so, in 1397 the church was described as "intolerably dark".

The 1862 window on the south of the nave is titled Christ Raising the Daughter of Jairus and Healing the Son of the Widow of Nain.

Burials include Admiral Thomas Griffin (died 1771) and cricketer Trevor Arnott (1902 – 1975).
