St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, in St Mary's Street near the centre of Monmouth, is the earliest post-Reformation Catholic public place of worship to be permitted in Wales. The church is a late Georgian Roman Catholic church with later Victorian additions by the Catholic convert architect Benjamin Bucknall.[1] It has been designated as a Grade II listed building since 15 August 1974,[2] and is one of 24 buildings on the Monmouth Heritage Trail.
