Church of St Basil, Bassaleg, Newport
formerly in: Monmouthshire
Diocese of Monmouth (formerly: Llandaff)
Church (Anglican)
The church is of medieval, and probably early medieval, origin. A free standing chapel of the fourteenth or fifteenth century was located here in the first half of the nineteenth century, but has since been demolished.
The nave was rebuilt in 1878–9 by Habershon, Fawkner & Co. The chancel was restored in 1902–3 by C.B. Fowler and the north chapel (1916) by W.D. Caröe enlarged the mausoleum of the Morgans of Tredegar.
