Unlisted, but described in some detail at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Edward%27s_Church,_Roath . "St Edward's was originally constructed in 1915, as a tin tabernacle. On 11 September 1919 ... the church was almost completely destroyed by a fire ... The remains of the building were demolished in 1919 ... {It was} decided to reconstruct the building ... A chancel of brick with sandstone embellishments was built by Willmott and Smith (in 1919), but funds ran short, causing the nave to be constructed of galvanised iron ... By the late 1960s, the iron nave of the church had fallen into a poor condition. In 1968, it was removed and replaced in brick by the original architects of the 1919 structure".
