The west tower dates from the 15th century. It contains five bells, four of which were cast by the Bilbie family of Chew Stoke in 1773.[3] The nave and aisles by William Butterfield date from 1847, and the chancel and crossing tower are dated 1893. The transepts were added in 1913 and 1929.[2][3] The organ, which was built by Palmers of Bristol, was installed in 1885.[4]
The church has associated with the Oxford Movement since the early 19th century.[3] The parish and benefice fall within the Diocese of Bristol.[5]
In 1877 the graveyard became the resting place of Newport Chartist John Frost. Although Frost's grave site was lost for many years, in the 1980s a new headstone was created and re-erected on the site, with the aid of a grant from Newport City Council. The new headstone was unveiled by Neil Kinnock.[6][7]
There are also war graves of 17 British and two Canadian service personnel of World War I, and a Royal Navy sailor of World War II.[8]
