Church of Our Lady and St Michael, Abergavenny
[1] This was replaced as the town's main Catholic church by Our Lady and St Michael's in 1860.[1] The construction of the church was funded by a local solicitor, John Baker Gabb, and the architect was Benjamin Bucknall.Bucknall's intellectual and architectural influences were the work and ideas of Augustus Pugin – he converted to Catholicism in the year of Pugin's death – and the French Gothic Revival architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, with whom Bucknall was in regular correspondence.[2] Built of Old Red Sandstone, with Bath Stone dressings and slate roofs,[1] the church comprises a nave, North and South aisles and a chancel."[5] The interior of the church is largely unchanged since its construction with all its original Victorian furniture and furnishings intact.
