St Nicholas Church
A substantial parish church of C11 or earlier origin. In "Notes on Churches of Llandaff" Rev. C.A.H. Green notes that this church was valued at £10 in 1254. The church comprises of chancel, nave, West tower, South porch and South chapel. Heavily restored and extensively modified by Messrs. Parry, contractors of Llandaff from designs by and under the supervision of Messrs. Prichard and Seddon, architects of Cardiff. The restoration was completed in 1860.
In the churchyard is an early C20 chest tomb in grey Quarella stone in the High Gothic Revival style. The tomb houses the remains of John and Anna Cory and other members of their family who were well known industrialists that resided at Dyffryn House. The central panel is inscribed with the Cory coat of arms and the words "Virtu Sempre Viridis". The tomb has adjacent access to the crypt.
