Chepstow Baptist church
Baptism had taken root in Chepstow since the times of Cromwell, but it wasn't until the early 1800s that a proper place of worship was built. Local man Walter Watkin was asked to fashion the church on "a part and parcel of an orchard then in the occupation of John Penn near the Churchyard" (the yard being referred to is the nearby St Mary's Priory). The church officially opened its doors in 1816; subsequent extensions were made in 1867 and a small Sunday school added - education being a particular mission for the ministers here.

Chepstow buildings [77]
Chepstow Baptist Church, Lower Church Street, was built, in the Romanesque style, as a chapel in 1816 and enlarged in 1869. Constructed of rubble stone with freestone dressings under a slate roof.
Chepstow, the most easterly town in Wales, is located on the tidal River Wye, some 3 miles above its confluence with the River Severn. There is evidence of continuous human occupation from the Mesolithic period. The town grew in importance when the Normans erected a castle at what was the lowest bridging point of the River Wye. The town flourished as a port, being exempt from English taxation, and it mainly traded in timber and bark from the Wye Valley. The town became an important centre for tourism from the late eighteenth century.
