Monmouth’s parish church stands on the site of a medieval priory, though the building now is largely Georgian and Victorian beneath a tall, slender spire that is the town’s chief landmark. It rises over Monnow Street and the town centre. Geoffrey of Monmouth is traditionally linked to the older priory here, though that connection is more legend than record.
