Holy Trinity Church, Marcross

[1] The English historian, John Capgrave, wrote that St Cyngar established a monastery in Glamorganshire with 12 canons dedicated to the Holy Trinity.

De Marcross' only heir was a daughter; when she married in about 1250, the manor passed to William le Butler.

By 1563, it was noted as having a parson and curate; by 1835, while it remained classified as a rectory, the listing for patron was the Chapter of Llandaff.

The tower, with its saddleback roof, may have been partially rebuilt in the 17th century, from evidence of a difference in masonry above its ridge.

The rector of Holy Trinity began a fundraising campaign for the work; it took four years to raise the needed funds.

While removing old plaster from the walls, a doorway leading to the rood loft on the north side of the chancel arch was uncovered.
