A Newport Landmark With Some Remarkable Stories. Well Worth A Visit

Eglwys Gaderiol Casnewydd, otherwise known as St Woolos Cathedral or St.Gwynllyw’s, Newport is the seat of the Bishop of Monmouth. The site has been a place of worship since the 6th century. It is a small cathedral, not much larger than a parish church and has only been a cathedral since 1949.

A memorial outside the cathedral to the left of the lychgate commemorates ten of the marchers who were killed and buried in unmarked graves in St. Woolos churchyard.
