The Church of St Bartholomew, Llanover, Monmouthshire is a parish church with its origins in the period following the Norman Conquest. The nave appears the earliest part of the present building, with the chancel dating from the 14th century, the tower from the 16th century and the porch from the 18th century. After a limited Victorian restoration in the middle of the 19th century, the church has been essentially unchanged. It is a Grade II* listed building.
The church sits just north of the village of Llanover, close to the River Usk.[1] The nave is considered to be Norman in origin.[2] The chancel dates from the 14th century, stylistically, and the porch has a date stone of 1750.[1] The building was lightly restored in the Victorian period and has been little altered since that time.[1] It remains an active parish church.[3]
