St Mary's Church, Llanfair Kilgeddin, Monmouth - The Sgraffito Murals by Heywood Sumner.

"St Mary's was rebuilt in 1875-6 by the architect John Dando Sedding who carefully reused some of the original fabric and introduced a rich decorative scraffito scheme."

"This extraordinary decorative scheme was executed in the sgraffito technique by Heywood Sumner. He was a distinguished figure in the continued regeneration of the decorative arts in England at the turn of the century and a central figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement. The murals illustrate the hymn of creation in praise of God, 'The Benedicte' which gave the artist the opportunity to explore different types of picture making."
