KELLY'S DIRECTORY OF MONMOUTHSHIRE, 1901: "A high .sea wall, erected to prevent the irruption of the tide, skirts one side of the parish.
The church of St. Mary Magdalene is an ancient building of stone in the Early Englsh style, consisting of chancel, nave, south porch, and an embattled western tower containing one bell. In .the chancel there is a mural brass thus inscribed :-
'On the 20th day of January, 1606, even as it came to pass, it
pleased God the flood did flow to the edge of this same brass,
and in this parish there was lost ?5,000 in stock &c.
besides 22 people was in this parish drowned.'

Churchwardens, 1609"
