Saint Nicholas Church in Trellech is a Grade I listed building with origins dating back to the 13th century. Constructed primarily of Old Red Sandstone, it stands on a site believed to have been a place of worship since Norman times. Notably, the church features a prominent west tower and retains significant medieval fabric, including original windows and architectural details. While undergoing restoration in the 19th century led by architect John Pollard Seddon, efforts were made to preserve its historical character. The church serves as an active parish church within the Diocese of Monmouth and is recognized for its peaceful rural setting and architectural significance within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It occasionally hosts musical events due to its acoustics.
