The present church, dating from 1843, was rebuilt on the remains of a much earlier edifice, possibly 13th or 14th century. It is a simple rectangular building in the Early English style, with chancel and nave with central aisle, paved with ancient tombstones from the earlier church. The West wall has a bench across its width- a feature of old churches when the congregation stood throughout the service. The bench was provided for the weak and infirm to sit on , hence the saying "the weakest go to the wall". The West wall houses a single bell in a bell-cote at its gable. It is not known whether this was taken from the earlier building. The Font, however, is from the original church, damaged when a rafter fell upon it but repaired at the time of rebuilding. Originally plain glass with diamond shaped panes, the West window was replaced in about 1880 with a stained -glass memorial to Mary Phelps, a benefactress. Also at this time the original wooden stairway and gallery were removed, a small vestry was added and the porch gates were taken down to give access to it. The East window is a memorial to Canon Edwards, Vicar of Caerleon and Llandevaud. The oak reredos, carved by one of his daughters, was dedicated at the same time- Easter 1897. On the North wall the window entitled "The Good Samaritan" is a memorial to James Swinnerton, Vicar of Llandevaud for 27 years. The window, dedicated in 1929, commemorates his work with blind people, to improve their lives with education and to secure pensions. Also on the North wall, the window "The Risen Light of Christ", dedicated in 1963, is the gift of parents of a serving soldier in World War II for his preservation throughout hostilities. An unusual feature is its depiction of the mushroom cloud of an atom-bomb. To mark the 150th Anniversary of the rebuilding of the church a Rowan tree was planted near the church gate by the Rt. Rev. Rowan Williams, then Bishop of Monmouth and now Archbishop of Canterbury. Compiled by Elizabeth Camble, 2010
