As of March 2014 Chapter installed 60 photovoltaic solar panels to their roof providing up to 15KW of electricity. In the autumn of 2014 Chapter became a venue for the international Artes Mundi exhibition and art prize, which expanded for the first time beyond the National Museum Cardiff. In December 2015 Chapter renamed the main Theatre and Stiwdio spaces as Theatr Seligman Theatre and Stiwdio Seligman, following a significant donation from local benefactor David Seligman. In 2020, BFI London Film Festival changed its format and opened up the festival to a selection of cinemas outside of London. Since then, Chapter has been one of the partner venues of the festival, hosting premier screenings that were previously only available to London audience.

Chepstow Community Hospital

Chepstow Community Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Cymunedol Cas-gwent) is a community hospital located on the east side of St Lawrence Road in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales. It is managed by the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. History The site selected had previously been occupied by Mount Pleasant Hospital, a facility which had been built by the Admiralty for workers at the National Shipyard in Chepstow in 1917. It was used by ex-servicemen more generally from 1919, and later by the community as a whole. The new community hospital incorporates the old Admiralty portico moulding from the front façade of the old hospital. St Lawrence Hospital, an old hospital specialising in burns, had been located on the western side of St Lawrence Road. The new 87-bed hospital was procured under a Private Finance Initiative in 1997. It was built by Skanska at a cost of £10 million, accepted its first patients in February 2000 and was officially opened by Rt Hon Rhodri Morgan AM MP, the First Minister of Wales in October 2000. The minor injuries unit closed in November 2011. In March 2013 a local councillor raised concerns that the hospital was just becoming a "glorified health centre".

Christ College, Brecon

Christ College, Brecon, is a co-educational, boarding and day independent school, located in the cathedral and market town of Brecon in mid-Wales. It currently caters for pupils aged 4–18 years. History Christ College was founded by Royal Charter in 1541 by King Henry VIII as 'the College of Christ of Brecknock'. Its aim was to provide education to the local area. The school still uses the medieval chapel and halls of the Dominican friary which was closed during the Dissolution of the monasteries. The maintenance of the buildings was difficult during CCB's early years, due to its small original endowment, and the reluctance of local prebendaries to offer tithes to the college. During the English Civil Wars many areas of the school were destroyed by Parliamentary Commissioners including Roger Thomas of Llanfrynach. Following the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, repairs of the college were undertaken by the Bishop William Lucy, who had been appointed as the Dean of Christ College Brecon. In the 19th century, the college fell into decline until the school was refounded by Act of Parliament in 1855. The buildings were restored by Seddon and Prichard, creating School House – now the school's oldest boarding house and currently one of two boys’ boarding houses for students aged 13 to 18, alongside Orchard – and much of the original chapel interior. Further renovations were undertaken again by W. D. Caröe in the 20th century, and are a Grade I listed structure. The school has been ranked in the top three of UK independent schools in terms of "value for money" by the Financial Times newspaper. In December 2017, Estyn (HM's Inspectorate for Education & Training in Wales) assessed Christ College's performance as "excellent" across all five inspection areas – the highest grade that can be awarded. In 2024, the overall pass rate at A Level was 100% and 60% of results were at A*-A, with 100% A*-A in Further Mathematics and Physics. Houses There are five houses in the school. There are: two senior boys' boarding houses, Orchard and School (age 13–18); two senior girls' boarding houses, de Winton and Donaldson's (age 13–18); and Alway House, for boys and girls aged 10–12. The Prep School is located in St Nicholas House and admits day pupils from age 4, with boarding available in Alway House from age 10. Cricket ground The first recorded match held on the college cricket ground was in 1888, when the college played Llandovery College. During the West Indies 1991 tour of England the ground was used to host a limited overs match against Wales, Brian Lara scoring 82. In use for the entire 20th century, the ground was used by Glamorgan for a List A cricket match against the touring Zimbabweans. The Glamorgan Second XI used the college ground for Second Eleven Trophy matches, firstly in 1996 when they played the Somerset Second XI and secondly in 1997 when they played the Hampshire Second XI.

Church of St Mary the Virgin, Llanfair Kilgeddin

St Mary the Virgin is the former parish church for Llanfair Kilgeddin, near Usk in Monmouthshire, south east Wales. It is a Grade I listed building, notable for its significant Arts and Crafts interior. The church was declared redundant in the 1980s and is now in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches. History and architecture The church is located on farmland close to the river, about 1 mile north of the village. It was originally medieval but was rebuilt in 1875–76 by the architect John Dando Sedding, commissioned by the local rector, Rev. William John Coussmaker Lindsay (1832–1912). The church contains some mediaeval features including a font, but is best known for its Arts and Crafts style sgraffito decorations which cover the interior walls. These were commissioned by Lindsay at a cost of £500 in memory of his wife Rosamund, and were designed by Heywood Sumner. Taking the Benedicite as his theme, Sumner used thin layers of different coloured plaster cut back to reveal colour underneath. His designs included local features, including the River Usk, the Sugar Loaf and nearby Llanvihangel Gobion church tower. Sumner's work was completed in 1888. In the 1980s, the church was declared redundant and threatened with demolition. It was vested in the charity the Friends of Friendless Churches in 1989, and the charity has held the freehold since 22 November 1989. The charity was supported by the Victorian Society and received financial support from Cadw and the Pilgrim Trust. The graveyard contains a private burial ground dedicated to members of the family of Richard Crawshay, and his nephew, Crawshay Bailey, the ironmasters of the Cyfarthfa Ironworks who had a house nearby, Maindiff Court, Abergavenny. The wall paintings were restored in 2006–07 in memory of Roy Jenkins. The architectural historian John Newman wrote of Sumner's decoration; "it should make Llanfair Kilgeddin a place of pilgrimage for disciples of the Arts and Crafts movement".

St Cadoc's Church, Llangattock Lingoed

The Church of St Cadoc, is the parish church of Llangattock Lingoed, Monmouthshire, Wales and sits in the centre of the village. It is in the Perpendicular style and is a Grade I listed building as of 1 September 1956. History and architecture The church is medieval, of Old Red Sandstone with a stone tiled roof. The nave is quite long, ending in a battlemented tower and turret.

The interior includes a large wall painting of the early 15th century depicting St George slaying the dragon. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales describes a possible interpretation of the painting as being a reference to the defeat of Owain Glyndŵr by the English at the battles of Campston Hill (1404) and Grosmont (1405), which were fought near to Llangattock Lingoed. There also remain some 16th-century pews, which John Newman, the architectural historian, describes as "a rare survival." A timber beam with carved vine leaves and grapes is the remaining part of a late 15th-century rood screen. The church is a Grade I listed building. The medieval cross in the churchyard has its own Grade II listing. Notes Sources Newman, John (2000). Gwent/Monmouthshire. The Buildings of Wales. Penguin. ISBN 0-14-071053-1.
