A fascinating little church
St Bridget's Church的点评
点评：This is situated very close to Skenfrith Castle, but is an attraction in its own right. We came here to see the grave of conductor Vernon Handley, but were surprised to see the church open, so we explored. Its an unusual church due to both its history and architecture, both closely linked. The tower is such because it would have acted as a place of refuge if the village came under attack, and at the top is a dovecote which would feed the hiding villagers if necessary. Inside are a number of intriguing features, such as the ornate tomb of John Morgan, former Steward of the Duchy of Lancaster and last Governor of the Three Castles (Skenfrith, Grosmont and White). The Morgan family pew and some of the memorials on the wall are also interesting to look at. As churches tend to be, this is a place of calm and quiet, allowing the visitor to fully appreciate the rich history and architectural beauty of this place. If you are visiting Skenfrith Castle, it is worth coming here too to appreciate the location's wider history.
翻译：它非常靠近 Skenfrith Castle，但它本身就是一个景点。我们来这里是为了看指挥弗农汉德利的坟墓，但看到教堂开放时很惊讶，所以我们探索了。这是一座不同寻常的教堂，因为它的历史和建筑都紧密相连。这座塔是这样的，因为如果村庄受到攻击，它可以作为避难所，顶部是一个鸽舍，必要时可以为躲藏起来的村民提供食物。里面有许多有趣的特色，例如约翰摩根的华丽坟墓，他是兰开斯特公国的前管家和三座城堡（斯肯弗里斯、格罗斯蒙特和怀特）的最后一任总督。摩根家族的长椅和墙上的一些纪念碑也很有趣。正如教堂一般，这是一个平静而安静的地方，让游客可以充分欣赏这个地方丰富的历史和建筑之美。如果您正在参观 Skenfrith 城堡，也值得来这里欣赏该地区更广泛的历史。
