St Oswalds Church & Close



St Oswalds Church was built as an extension to the school, but never used as such.  The building has been used as a daughter church to St Hilda's in Griffithstown.  Its bell was a familiar sound on a Sunday morning for most of my life and is still being used.

The Pointed gables reflect that of the old school building

His biography is at Torfaen Museum, Pontypool.





















St Oswalds Close consists of a group of houses.  These were erected on the site of the old school building and play yard, adjacent to St Oswalds Church.
