St Catharine's Church, Baglan

John Prichard, Llandaff's diocesan architect, who also worked on the restoration of Llandaff Cathedral, was heavily involved in the design project,[4] although the building work was superintended by a local architect named John Jones.

It replaced the older St Baglan's Church, a pre-Norman building that was largely destroyed by a fire in 1954.

[5] The interior uses Quarella stone, Forest of Dean sandstone and "Penarth" alabaster to create a polychromatic effect.

A brass memorial plaque commemorates Griffith Llewellyn and his wife Madelina (née Grenfell), both of whom are buried in the churchyard, close to the ruins of the original Saint Baglan's church, which is also listed.

[5] Stained glass windows in the church include designs by William Morris (St Cecilia with Musical Angels) and Edward Burne-Jones (Crucifixion with the Virgin Mary and St John), as well as a Celtic Studios design installed in 1972.
