Description

St. Fagan's Church is a Grade II listed building designed in the Decorated Gothic style. It features an aisled nave, chancel, and south porch, constructed from snecked Duffryn rubble with Bath stone dressings. The church has stepped buttresses, slate roofs, gable parapets, and crucifix finials. Its three-stage tower includes a crenellated parapet, ogee-headed openings for the bell stage, a small stair light on the south side, and a low cusped lancet window on the west. The west end of the nave is adorned with a three-light window, while the gabled porch has a two-order arch with a label and iron gates, complemented by two-light windows on the sides. The aisles feature simple paired lancets and curved-sided triangle windows in the clerestory. Above the chancel, there is a quatrefoil window in the nave gable end. The chancel organ chamber is continuous with the nave's aisle and has a pointed boarded door. The eastern end of the chancel is slightly stepped forward and includes a three-light stepped lancet window with a stopped label. On the north side of the chancel, there is a two-light plate tracery window, and a lean-to vestry set back with a chimney stack.

Inside, the church has a rendered interior with a four-bay nave supported by two-order arcades, cylindrical piers, and moulded capitals. Arched braced collar trusses spring from stone corbels below the clerestory sills, and the chancel arch features semi-octagonal shafts. An arch from the south aisle into the organ chamber is closed by boarded doors, with the front of the original organ case retained behind a modern organ. The short three-bay chancel contains an octagonal stone font, a Gothic pulpit, and an ogee-arched choir screen. The window at the eastern end of the north aisle is by Heaton, Butler and Bayne, and this aisle also houses a relief bust of a child, which is a memorial to Daniel Thomas, a sculptor known for creating many monuments in the cemetery and at St. John's.
