The Priory and Parish Church of St. Mary is located in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, south east Wales. Parts of the building, including its ornate west doorway, date from the late 11th century and are contemporary with the nearby Norman castle. Part of the Norman church remains, but it has been greatly modified over later centuries. The original Priory Church was built in local yellow Triassic sandstone, with a long vaulted nave, massive piers, and a notably ornamented west entrance doorway with zig zag and lozenge patterns. These parts remain. However, later extensions and modifications have used other varieties of stone in other architectural styles. The main central tower of the original church fell down through disrepair in 1701, destroying the transepts. A new wall was then built at the eastern end of the nave, and its western end built up to form a new tower.
