The Church of All Saints, Kemeys Commander, Monmouthshire, Wales, is a parish church with its origins in the 13th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.

History

The hamlets of Kemeys Commander and Kemeys Inferior formed part of the Monmouthshire estates of the Knights Templar.[1] The Templars administered their holdings through commandery, accounting for the name of the hamlet. A reference to a church on the site dates from the 13th century, but the present building was constructed in the 15th century.[1] The Lordship of Kemeys dates from the Middle Ages and was held by the Kemeys family until the estate was sold in the early 18th century.Шаблон:Sfn

The church was restored by Richard Creed in the late 19th century.[1] At the time of the restoration, the vicar was The Rev. Herbert Sheppard M.A., of Clare College, Cambridge.[2]
