St Mary's Church

Magor, United Kingdom

Architecturally, St Mary's Church was one of the most ambitious churches in the county. It is in the Decorated style with a prominent, integral, tower. The church was originally dedicated to St Leonard, until the mid-nineteenth century restoration. The porch, of the fourteenth/fifteenth centuries, has buttresses which display gargoyles and pinnacles.

The interior contains interesting, nineteenth-century, stained glass, including The Good Shepherd by Kempe & Co of 1930–31.

Next to the church stands The Procurator's House, a sixteenth house, now ruined, which belonged to the vicarage of Magor.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
