Contents

Although the parish contains no substantial nucleated settlements it includes the Chetwynd Park estate, in addition to Sambrook, Howle, Pickstock and a number of other small hamlets.

The north-eastern boundary of the parish is formed by an old Roman road, now a country lane, while its eastern boundary runs along the Lonco Brook. [1]

The parish church, dedicated to St. Michael and All Angels, was built in 1865 to the designs of Benjamin Ferrey [2] and contains a fine East window depicting "Christ adored by the hosts of Heaven", designed by John Hardman in 1881. The chancel windows, one of which is a war memorial to parish dead of World War I and designed by Dunstan Powell, [3] are also by Hardman, while the windows in the nave were designed by Francis Skeat in 1963. [4]

An F1/T2 tornado formed within the civil parish on 23 November 1981, as part of the record-breaking nationwide tornado outbreak on that day. [5] The tornado later moved over Newport, causing some damage there.

The former RAF Chetwynd is nearby.
