Diocese of the Church in Wales
The Diocese of Monmouth is a diocese of the Church in Wales . Despite the name, its cathedral is located not in Monmouth but in Newport — the Cathedral Church of St Woolos . Reasons for not choosing the title of Newport included the existence of a Catholic Bishop of Newport until 1916. This apparent anomaly arose in 1921 when the diocese was created (from the eastern part of the Diocese of Llandaff ) with no location for the cathedral yet chosen. Various options were being considered, such as restoring Tintern Abbey , building from scratch on Ridgeway Hill in Newport, and (the eventual choice) upgrading St Woolos , then a parish church; in the meantime the new diocese, as it covers more or less the territory of the county of Monmouth , was named the "Diocese of Monmouth". Prior to 1921 the area had been the archdeaconry of Monmouth.
It is headed by Cherry Vann , Bishop of Monmouth . She was elected the eleventh bishop in September 2019 and enthroned in Newport Cathedral on 1 February 2020.
In its own words, the diocese "covers the south east corner of Wales , from Monmouth south to Chepstow , westwards along the 'M4 corridor ' to Newport and the outskirts of Cardiff , northwards into the south eastern valleys and east into the rural areas around Usk , Raglan , Abergavenny and the Herefordshire border".
In local government terms, the territory of the diocese covers the unitary authority areas of:

Rees served in several incumbencies there along with diocesan roles and both honorary and residentiary canonries of the cathedral before his move to Monmouth as archdeacon and Director of Ministry and Discipleship.[ 14]

Newport archdeaconry was split in 2018 to create Gwent Valleys archdeaconry Archdeacons of the Gwent Valleys [ edit ] The archdeaconry was erected from Newport archdeaconry in 2018.

Her last post before becoming archdeacon was at Kenilworth , where she also became Area Dean .[ 25] In Monmouth diocese, Bailey serves as both Archdeacon and Director of Mission.[ 27]
