St Margaret's church, Roath
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

St Margaret's from the south
From Wikipedia "The Church of St Margaret of Antioch, built in 1870 on the site of an earlier Norman chapel. The new Gothic revival church, designed by Llandaff architect John Prichard on a Greek Cross plan, was financed totally by the third Marquess of Bute, in spite of his conversion to Catholicism in 1868. Inside is an opulent mausoleum housing tombs of nine members of the Bute family, including the First Marquess and his wives. The tower of St Margaret's was finally completed in 1926."
