St Elvan's Church, Grade II* listed Gothic church in Aberdare, Wales
St Elvan's Church presents a western tower with an octagonal spire, featuring paired louvered bell stage openings and multiple light clerestory windows.
The construction of the church began in 1851 under architect Andrew Moseley from London, with extensive repairs conducted in 1869 due to initial building issues.
The interior contains a carved octagonal wooden pulpit and a circular stone font with cherubs in the north transept upon a green marble drum.
The church opens from 10 am to 4 pm Monday through Saturday, with accessible facilities and a convenient car park adjacent to the building.
Eight stained glass windows throughout the structure tell stories of local iron and coal industry families who supported the church's development.
