Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and attached Presbytery

The Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a stone building with a steeply pitched roof and rectangular windows, combined with an attached presbytery in an L-shaped layout. The structure brings together residential and worship spaces in a compact arrangement.

Architect Thomas Henry Birchall Scott designed this church building, which opened in 1940 during World War II. It was built at a time when many religious communities sought refuge and stability amid global upheaval.

The church welcomes people from different backgrounds who gather here to worship in their own languages and traditions. This diversity has shaped how the community uses the space across the decades.

The building sits beside the A475 road with parking available in an adjacent lot. You should know that access to parking may be restricted outside of service times.

This building was the first church in Wales dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. This dedication made it a special place for people who follow this particular devotion in the region.
