St. Michael's Church, or the Church of St. Michael
and
All Angels to give it its full title, was opened in 1936 and was
initiated in the first instance by Lt. Colonel Sir Rhys-Williams and
Lady Rhys-Williams of Miskin Manor.
The building is most unusual, if
not unique in appearance with what at the time was an ultra-modern
design and an unconventional beauty all of its own. The tower sits
unusually at the East end of the church rather than the traditional
West end and is pierced with a cross.
The only deviation from the church 'straight
design' are
two circular
windows both of which incorporate the five pointed star of St. Michael
to whom the church is dedicated.
The church has white walls and blue
draperies inside and both the design and colouring of it are intended
to symbolise three things: namely the incarnation of Christ, the
history of Mankind and the life of the individual.
