A Christian group is set to launch legal action to stop an historic library being turned into a town's first mosque.
Labour council chiefs agreed a 30-year-old lease to turn the landmark former library into a mosque after it has sat unused for ten years.
But campaigners blasted the plans for allowing an 'incredibly important civic building' to be leased for a 'peppercorn rent'.
It comes after the stone building in Abergavenny, South Wales, was targeted with racist graffiti 'no masjid', which means mosque in Arabic
The grade II listed building is a former Carnegie Library built in 1905 with a grant of £4000 from a fund set up by Scottish-American steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.
