This is the best front view I could get of St Mary's and St Mercurius' Church, located on the corner of St Mary Street and Trinity Court. It's a pity that the two large trees aren't deciduous... Formerly a Wesleyan Methodist chapel, the church is one of two Coptic Orthodox churches in Wales - the other one is in Llandudno. The British Orthodox Church is a small Orthodox jurisdiction, canonically part of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria, Egypt. The Coptic Egyptian language and script appear on the church noticeboard. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1757267
