Background
History
A church dedicated to St Margaret existed in Roath since the medieval period. It was a small Perpendicular style building with a bell-turret at the western end. In 1800 a mausoleum was added, for the Marquesses of Bute. The church was completely demolished in 1868 to make way for a new replacement. A wide variety of coloured bricks and coloured stone was used to decorate the internal walls, in red, blue, white, grey-green and pink. The church was designated a Grade I listed building in 1975.
