Church of the Most Holy Redeemer

The Church of the Most Holy Redeemer is a church built in the 20th century, exhibiting a simplified Romanesque style with influences of the Arts-and-Crafts movement. The building is oriented north-south and comprises a nave and chancel under a single roof. Shallow apsidal projections extend from the chancel’s south (liturgical east) and east walls, with a lower hipped vestry situated on the north side.

The nave and chancel are tall and narrow, constructed from rock-faced rubble stone with larger quoins, and topped with a steep slate roof supported by a moulded stone cornice. A steep flight of stone steps leads to the nave’s boarded doors, which are fitted with strap hinges and sit under a lintel bearing a date and an inscription in Welsh. The tympanum above the doors features thin voussoirs and a low-relief representation of Christ on the Cross, likely carved from marble. Further inscription reads "ADOREMUS TE ET BENEDICIMUS TIBI QUIA SANCTUM CRUCEM REDEMISTI MUNDUM." Small, round-headed windows with steel-framed glazing and pivoting lights are positioned to the right and left of the doorway. A large low-relief cross is superimposed on a round window above. The nave gable has raised verges, concealing a stack on the east side, and culminates in a slate-hung apex with two gilded corbels.

The three-window side walls have round-headed windows with steel-framed glazing and pivoting lights. A small blocked window is located at the north end of the west side. The east wall incorporates a boarded basement door leading to a boiler room on the north side, where the ground level is lower. The east apsidal chancel projection is lower in height and has a conical roof. The south (liturgical east) chancel apse has a hipped slate roof with wide eaves, and the chancel gable is slate hung.

The vestry has a half-lit door in its splay, connecting it to the chancel, and a two-light and a one-light window in its south wall. The north wall of the vestry contains a boarded door beneath a two-light window.

Inside, the church has a plaster tunnel vault, with the plaster stripped to reveal the underlying rubble-stone walls. The chancel apse is decorated with blue mosaic, featuring a representation of a dove. Apses are incorporated into the side walls, finished in gold mosaic, and hold fine stone statues of the Madonna and Child and Christ the Redeemer, all the work of Jonah Jones. Two round arches flank the east apse; the right-hand arch provides access to the vestry and is surmounted by a high-relief timber mandorla depicting the Blessing of Christ. The left-hand arch contains a memorial from 1974, incorporating fragments of medieval stained glass. The arrangement of the sanctuary reflects alterations made in the 1960s following the Second Vatican Council. Original altar rails remain, while other fittings, including the stone altar and ambo with marble framing and raised incised slate panels (also by Jonah Jones), are from the 1960s, as is the polished slate paschal candle-stand, which is an integral part of the design.
