Any parish church in Wales can found by searching the Church in Wales web
site
http://www.churchinwales.org.uk/ for the parish name. That will take you to
a page with details of the current clergy including contact details. [Note
that you may need in some cases to look at the GENUKI page to find
alternative spellings for parish names.]
I quote : The parish of Bedwas [M152] is in the benefice of Bedwas with
Machen with Rudry [M599], which is in the deanery of Bassaleg. The parish
has a PCC, its status is historic, and the preferment is Rector. It is in
the Diocese on Monmouth, and is in the historic county of Monmouthshire,
just over the river Rhymney from the historic county of Glamorgan.
http://www.churchinwales.org.uk/parishholding/monmouth/m152-en is the site
for Bedwas showing service times and locations and times when the Church is
open to the public. There is a photo of the Church there.
Most churches do not have letter-boxes so do not have postal addresses. On
the web site it says that the church is at the top of Church Street, Bedwas.
The post code for high numbers in Church Street, Bedwas is CF83 8EG. You can
find that out by putting the street name into
www.old-maps.co.uk .
If you put that postcode into Google Maps you will see the Church in the
aerial view. The map shows that the Church House Inn, Bedwas, CF83 8AY is
directly opposite the Church.
If you are looking for data from old parish registers, it is unlikely that
the current clergy will hold these. Probably they would be a Gwent Archives
in their new location in Ebbw Vale. The list of registers held there is on
the GENUKI page for Bedwas
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/MON/Bedwas/index.html
I expect you have already found that Familysearch holds an index of baptisms
at St Barrwg's 1653-1715 and 1717-1875 under the IGI batch number C021101 ,
as given on Hugh Wallis's site
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumb...
There are also separate transcriptions of baptisms 1717-1812 and burials
1717-1812 on Mike John's web site
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~monfamilies/bedwasprt.htm
I hope this helps both you and anyone looking for any parish church in
Wales. A good start is to do a Google search on GENUKI and the parish name.
