The original, mediaeval, church on this spot was demolished in the 1860's and rebuilt by the Marquess of Bute in order to incorporate a family mausoleum modelled on that of the Russian Czar - such was the power and arrogance of the Victorian industrial magnates. All trace of the old church was removed, including the graveyard with its cross and the graves of local people. An image of it can be seen here http://www.cardiffians.co.uk/penylan_roath/index.html
