Yr Eglwys Norwyaidd
Bae Caerdydd, City of Cardiff
Anaml iawn y gwelwch yng Nghymru eglwys sydd â chladin pren gwyn – ac mae gan yr Eglwys Norwyaidd stori unigryw i’w hadrodd, yn ogystal â chysylltiad ag un o hoff awduron plant y byd: Roald Dahl.
It was built in 1776 and is an unusual shape, almost square, with a large semi circular apse. The south side is particularly graceful, with an ogee headed doorway under the tower.
The inside is flooded with light from the large windows. Following bomb damage in 1940, all the replacement windows have outstanding engraved glass by the artist Sir Laurence Whistler which were installed over 40 years from 1955 onwards.
TE Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) is buried in the separate cemetery down the lane.
