St Mary the Virgin Church, Caerau, Cardiff

[2] The church is first mentioned in the Taxatio Ecclesiasticus of Pope Nicholas IV in 1291 and was probably built in 1260.

[citation needed] Archaeologia Cambrensis in 1901 describes its 1848 state as follows: A small church on an abrupt eminence, where was a Roman encampment.

The tower is small, of rude construction, with pack-saddle roof, having the east and west sides gabled.

The belfry windows long and square-headed, and a few other slits for openings, and some traces of a west door.

On the north, near the east end of the nave, a low single, labelled window with trefoil feathering, apparently Third Pointed.
