It still retains many of its Georgian features, including a gallery that was originally for women, and a symbolic meeting house lantern.

The windows are particularly fascinating because they still have their original glazing bars and blown glass.

Nearby are 17th century cottages that were the original meeting house and which were subsequently used as a Quaker school.

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.

St Paul

Grangetown, City of Cardiff

Mae gwaith y pensaer John Coates Carter yn gyfrinach sydd wedi ei chadw’n ddiogel. Mae ei adeiladau’n ymgorffori y Mudiad Celfyddyd a Chrefft ar ddechrau’r ugeinfed ganrif – a dywedir bod eglwys St Paul ymhlith y gorau o’i eglwysi cynnar sydd wedi goroesi.

Santes Catrin

Pontcanna, City of Cardiff

Adeiladwyd yr eglwys hon yn 1883-6 gan y pensaer J Prichard. Ei fwriad gwreiddiol oedd adeiladu eglwys ar ffurf croes, ond daeth yn amlwg bod hyn yn rhy uchelgeisiol - ac adeiladwyd tair cilfach cyntaf corff yr eglwys yn unig.
