St Mary the Virgin Church, Medieval church ruins in Caerau, Wales
The stone structure features a nave, chancel, west tower, and south porch, with architectural elements including pointed arches and trefoil-headed windows.
The church's construction began around 1260 and received its first mention in Pope Nicholas IV's Taxatio Ecclesiasticus document of 1291.
The church underwent changes during the Protestant Reformation, resulting in the removal of the rood loft and various wall murals by religious groups.
The Friends of St Mary's Church at Caerau organization works since 1999 to preserve and maintain the remaining structure of this Grade II listed building.
Located on Caerau Hillfort at 74 meters elevation, the church stands on a natural plateau where a Roman encampment once existed.
