Beautiful historic building. Sad occasion, but beautiful service.

Really lovely little cathedral. My husband carried our pushchair up the stairs as we didn't realise there is an easier way with no stairs round the other side. There is parking right outside too.

Lovely simplicity of decor, good liturgy and a wonderful choir. The organist would benefit from playing for something other than funerals. The protracted pauses between verses were a sad hindrance which undermined an otherwise gracious musicianship

Beautiful building, just a shame about the exterior looking old and worn out. The scaffolding does it no justice, although understandably necessary for repairs.. The choir sound amazing and the director of music does a fantastic job. Well worth a visit even if its just to listen to the choir!!

Amazing place. The choir was out of this world.

Attended a London Film Orchestra concert here. I'd never been to the Cathedral before and as a disabled person I'm always a bit apprehensive with new places but I needn't have worried. On arrival at the queue I was immediately escorted to the accessible entrance after being asked if I'd wanted to go to the bar or toilet before going in. Everyone was really helpful and attentive. The concert was amazing and I had a fantastic evening.

Wow 5th century cathedral one of the first apostles churches in the UK Wales. Beautifully placed on the top of the hill in Newport city. The new church integrated with the old church . The old arch and the superb preserved columns in a Corinthian style sounds throughout the centuries kirie eleison, Amen. In their touch one can feel the past, thousands of services and liturgies(ΘΕΊΑ ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΙΑ), throughout the centuries brings the past in front of you in quietness. Really worth visiting when you stop at the Newport town. Past and present and still more into the future.

Tiny, but the Norman parts are well maintained. The modern area by the main altar looks out of place at first but it grows on you

St Woolos Cathedral has been a site of worship since the early 6th century. According to legend, the soldier-prince Gwynllyw was converted to Christianity when he was told in a dream to search for a white ox with a black spot on its forehead and, when he found it, to build a church as an act of penitence. Gwynllyw’s church, founded on Stow Hill, was almost certainly made of mud and wattle and has therefore been lost. The modern church dates back to the Norman period including the arched entrance and nave, constructed 1140-1160. The present building consists of a 12th century Norman church enclosed within a later mediaeval structure, restored in Victorian times and with a recent east end extension. In 1921 the diocese of Monmouth was created and the church was designated a cathedral and the east end was enlarged in 1960.

Lovely cathedral with unmarked graves of the Chartist uprising martyrs in the graveyard. Hosted the 2019 Chartist Convention.
