    OUR HEAD OFFICE

    bpw Insurance - Cathedral Chambers, Newport

    Cathedral Chambers, Newport

    After having been based in Bridge Street for over 30 years, by 2015 we needed more room for our expanding team and we were very excited to acquire our current home, Cathedral Chambers.

    Although an historic building at it’s core, Cathedral Chambers has undergone extensive renovations to modernise the building and provide completely up-to-date facilities to give our staff a wonderful, modern place to work.

    Cathedral Chambers
    The Tithe Barn

    According to a survey map produced in 1752 by Thomas Thorpe, Cathedral Chambers stands on the site of the ancient Tithe Barn, which is one of a small cluster if buildings south of the church. The barn is again shown on the tithe apportionment of 1845 and is described as the “Rectorial Tithe Barn and Yard, 24 perches in size, occupier William Jones”. Disputes over tithes are mentioned in documents 1146, 1239 and 1255.

    Stow Hill was the first settlement in the area (before the Norman settlement of Newport). The name ‘Stow’ shows Anglo-Saxon connections with the area, but the original settlement by tradition relates to the pilgrim, St Gwynllyw (St Woolos), founding the church (the present Newport Cathedral) in the fifth or sixth century.

    The earliest surviving parts of the church date to the Norman period. Other parts of the present Cathedral are post medieval or modern.

    After the establishment of the new borough (Newport), the church remained just outside the boundary, within the Manor of Stow. The 1427 charter given to Newport identifies the graveyard of St Woolos as being on the boundary of Newport. At the end of the 11th century the church was given to the monastery of St Peter at Gloucester by Robert De Hay. The church was at times the centre of disputes over its rights, but it remained the parish church for the borough.

    In later years, the Tithe Barn became a theatre for strolling players. The Stow Fair was held by the Cathedral on the Thursday of Whitsun and visitors from the fair would often visit the Barn to watch a play or comic act.

    There is also evidence that the Barn later became a hospital and then a laundry, which served the children’s home situated in the adjoining houses. Indeed, there are still markings denoting the laundry visible on the building today.

    Our neighbours with connections to the Newport Cathedral are the Deanery which, as its name implies, is the home of the Dean of Monmouth, and the Canon’s Residentiary known as ‘The Canon’s House’.

    The Deanery, built on the site of the ancient Tithe Cottage, was formerly the Town House of the Morgan family of Tredegar Estates. Displayed on its roof is the date when it was completed – 1845 – together with the Latin – ut migrat ur us habita (in order that we may move on, we must rest awhile).

    We are now very proud to be custodians of this fantastic building, in this historic setting. Like us, the building is thoroughly modern, but with a long and illustrious history.
