Usk, St Mary

In Usk (Brynbuga), the parish church of St Mary is located in the southeast of this small town. I parked in Twyn Square and walked to the church along Priory Street.

It is quite a big church set in a large attractive churchyard. The ringing room is reached by climbing the 37 steps of an anti-clockwise stone spiral staircase (entrance to staircase is inside the tower). The room is very spacious with >20 chairs and four arched windows, one in each face of the tower.

The Bells

The tower has a ring of 8 bells with a tenor weighing 14-1-7 in F#. Dove's Guide includes details of the bells at St Mary's Church and more information is provided by the Llandaff & Monmouth DACBR.
