St Mary’s Church ruins, Tintern, Monmouthshire, Wales, UK. The church, which was rebuilt in 1866, stands on the site of a medieval chapel, probably built as a retreat for the monks of Tintern Abbey or for the secular community growing outside the Abbey walls. Parish records date back to 1695. St Mary’s was destroyed by fire in 1977. The graveyard contains several interesting monuments, including a listed sarcophagus tomb, and is still in use to this day. The church is privately owned but the graveyard is still owned by the church.
