St. Paul's Church, Newport is a parish church of the Church in Wales located in Newport, South Wales in the Diocese of Monmouth. ==History== Build between 1835–36 by Thomas Henry Wyatt, a rare example in Wales of pre-Gothic Revival 'Gothick'. According to Pryce's history of the church, however, the architect was Sir Digby Wyatt. (The newspaper account of the consecration in 1836 only refers to 'Mr Wyatt', who was present at the service.) Church re-ordered 1893 by Fawkner. The freehold site of the church was conveyed by Sir Charles Morgan, 2nd Baronet, Bt. of Tredegar House, and the family remained pew-holders and benefactors of the church and parish into the twentieth century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://stainedglass.llgc.org.uk/site/212 )〕 From ''Kelly's Directory for Monmouthshire'', 1901: :St. Paul's is an ecclesiastical parish formed in 1839; the church, in Commercial street, is a modern structure of dressed stone, in the Gothic style, consisting of chancel, nave, baptistery, porch and a tower with spire containing a clock.
