St Isan's Church

St Isan's Church is a medieval church in Llanishen, Cardiff, situated at the junction of Station Road and Heol Hir. The building features a four-stage tower with battlements constructed from multicolored stone.

The church dates to the 12th century and contains elements from different periods, including a 15th-century Crucifixion relief in the south porch. Its architecture reflects multiple phases of remodeling and expansion.

The interior displays Victorian furnishings and colored glass windows dedicated to those lost in World War I. The carved altar screen with a Last Supper scene shapes the appearance of the chancel area.

The church holds regular services and stands in a large rectangular churchyard accessible via public transportation. Visitors can easily enter the grounds and explore the building.

The south chancel wall preserves the oldest section with a single lancet window from the original medieval construction. This feature shows how the building grew over the centuries.
