About

A very warm welcome is extended to everyone who attends our weekly services. Members of the congregation are invited to take an active part in our worship through readings and intercessions. The Junior Church meets at the same time but once a month join us for an All Age Service. There is a small enthusiastic choir and an opportunity for everyone to get together for refreshments after the Sunday morning service.

History

In 1875 Colonel Henry Lewis, Squire of Greenmeadow estate, donated a site for a purpose built church together with £100 towards the building. Donations were also received from the Llandaff Church Extension Society and the Melingriffith Tin Plate Works.
John Pritchard, a Welsh architect in the neo-Gothic style, was engaged to build the church. St Michael’s church is constructed in red and grey sandstone and was opened in 1877. It would function as a chapel of ease to St Mary’s church Whitchurch for the next 44 years.
After the formation of the Church in Wales in 1920, changes were carried out to the parish structures in the area. In 1921 St Michael’s was partitioned from the Parish of Whitchurch and was placed in a new Parish of Tongwynlais. The new parish was initially in the Deanery of Caerphilly but has since been transferred to the Deanery of Llandaff.


St Michael’s gained listed status in 1977. St Michael’s has never had a graveyard but has a burial plot for cremated remains which was consecrated during the tenure of the Reverend Peter Lewis in the 1970s.
