St Edward's, Roath Parish is located in Penylan, Cardiff, Wales
Founded on the religious zeal engendered by the Oxford Movement at the turn of the 19th century, St Edward's was first officially opened for public worship in March 1915. This first building was constructed of galvanised metal sheeting and faced the wrong way, thus contravening the established Christian tradition that the altar should face East. Unfortunately, probably due to a fault in "the new-fangled electricity", the church was destroyed by fire in September 1919. It was decided to rebuild the church to honour the memory of those who had fallen in the 1914-1918 War (details of the memorials).[1]
It was rebuilt in 1921 as a War Memorial Church. The church, recognised those soldiers who were parishioners in Roath, Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales by erecting various memorials within the church. To emphasise, this church has never married or christened anyone. Purely a War Memorial Church.
The original panel recognised 76 soldiers during WWI, then after WWII, they placed another memorial plaque.
The four panels of St. Anne's Church originally made up the pulpit and this was carefully dismantled and in 2018, placed beneath the organ in St. Edward's. These panels have the names carved into them.
Right now this project just has one member, me. I am T C.
