St James's Church, Gothic Revival church in Adamsdown, Cardiff, GB
The structure features a tall northeast porch tower with a stone spire, clerestorey, apsidal nave, and lean-to aisles built in pink-grey Swelldon stone.
Architect E.M. Bruce Vaughan designed the church between 1891 and 1894, replacing an earlier iron church at the intersection of Newport Road and Glossop Road.
The octagonal polychrome pulpit from 1892 displays figures of notable preachers, while the reredos presents statues created by J.B.L. Tolhurst and Christopher Webb.
The Grade II listed building stands at an elevation of 10.3 meters and requires specific permissions for any modifications to maintain its historical character.
After a fire in 1925, Willmot & Smith architects restored the building, adding marble steps to the chancel, altar, organ, and War Memorial rood screen.
