Church of St Mary and St Michael, Llanarth
It was the first Roman Catholic church constructed in the county since the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the mid-16th century.Built circa 1790, some decades before the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, it was designed to look like an orangery, or barn, in order not to attract anti-Catholic hostility.[4] After closure in 1986, the church came under the responsibility of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cardiff.[2] The building is a long, single-storeyed, structure covered in white render.The architectural historian John Newman suggests its design ensured the building; "could be mistaken for an orangery, as was doubtless intended.
