St Michael's church was built on the site of an important roman river crossing. There was a christian church here as early as 65AD, some 350 years before the foundation of nearby Tintern Abbey. A medieval church replaced the original church but this was eventually rebuilt in 1846 to what you can see today.

The church registers date from 1756 for marriages and 1812 for baptisms and burials. The sanctuary contains an aumbry and the priest's doorway into the chancel, sealed up in 1846, can still be seen. The oak chair in the chancel is made from some of the old roof timbers of the medieval church.
