St Mary of the Angels R C Church, Canton, Roman Catholic church in Canton, Cardiff, Wales
St Mary of the Angels is a Roman Catholic church in Canton, Cardiff, built in Romanesque Revival style with distinctive architectural features. The structure features rough Pennant sandstone walls combined with Bath stone decorative elements that give the building its character.
The church was designed by architect Frederick Walters and opened in November 1907, with a tower added in 1916 to enhance its presence. War damage from air raids in 1941 affected parts of the interior, which were rebuilt over the following years.
The church serves as a gathering place for the local community and has deep roots with nearby schools that shape life in the neighborhood. It functions as a social hub where residents come together for worship and celebrations that connect people across generations.
The church welcomes visitors during worship services held on Sundays and weekdays. Check ahead for service times and remember to be respectful of ongoing religious activities when visiting.
The sacristies and a chapel within the complex were heavily damaged during a 1941 air raid, an event that left visible marks on the building's history. The careful reconstruction of these spaces in later decades shows how the community chose to restore rather than abandon this important landmark.
