The Church of St Dingat in Dingestow, Monmouthshire, Wales, is a parish church dating from the 14th century. It is dedicated to Saint Dingat or Dingad, a 5th-century Welsh saint. The church was almost completely rebuilt by Thomas Henry Wyatt in 1846 and further renovated by Richard Creed in 1887–1888. It is an active parish church and a Grade II* listed building.
History
The origins of the church date from the 14th century,[1] though almost nothing remains of this period.[1] In the early 19th century, the Monmouthshire antiquarian Charles Heath described the original church, "it is a mean building and has nothing to attract the eye of curiosity, consisting only of a nave without side-isles".[2] The tower was rebuilt in 1846 by the architect T. H. Wyatt, who worked extensively in Monmouthshire.[1] Later in the 19th century further renovations took place under the supervision of Richard Creed.[1] The church remains an active parish church.[3]
Architecture and description
The church is built of sandstone and puddingstone rubble.[1] It comprises a nave with porch, a North transept, a chancel and Wyatt's tower.[1]
The architectural historian John Newman describes the stained glass as comprising roundels depicting the Lamb of God and symbols of the Four Evangelists.[4] The North transept functions as the chapel of the Bosanquet family of Dingestow Court and contains memorials to members of the family dating from 1806 to 1975.[5]
The church is a Grade II* listed building, its listing recording the building as "the principal architectural feature in the village of Dingestow".[1]
