Ely Methodist Church

The church was constructed in 1911 to serve the growing Methodist community in Ely, which expanded as a residential area of Cardiff in the early 20th century. The building reflects the architectural transition between Victorian ecclesiastical design and early 20th-century styles.^[2]

The church is noted for its Free Gothic design with Arts and Crafts elements. Key features include:

• Asymmetrical composition typical of Free Gothic design
• Arts and Crafts-influenced detailing in stonework and woodwork
• Pointed arch windows with decorative tracery
• Steeply pitched roofs

The interior retains original features, including joinery and decorative elements reflecting Arts and Crafts principles.

The building was listed Grade II by Cadw on 20 May 1975, recognizing its architectural and historical significance.

The church remains an active Methodist place of worship, part of the Cardiff Methodist Circuit.
