St Michael's is a Roman Catholic church in Pillgwenlly in Newport, Wales.[1] The creation of the church served the Irish immigrants working at the Newport docks.St Michael's has a slate roof with two prominent conical ventilators made from copper.[1] The South Wales Echo described the church upon its completion in 1887 as a "fine, spacious edifice, having an elevation of 61 feet, and being divided by an arcading of six arches into nave and aisles.Provision is made for one thousand sittings, and when the design is fully carried out, a spire will be added to the present tower, of an altitude altogether of 100 feet...it has concrete foundations formed of Aberthaw pebble ground lime".
