FOREWORD by Rev. Victor Jones.
Delia and Rosemary, the Founders of “The Friends of St. Mary’s Church, Caerau” have done a wonderful job in producing this book, to tell the story of the old church on the hill. When they started they could have had no idea that it would end in this way, leaving a permanent record of its history and its sad ending. I believe that St. Mary’s will rise again one day, and the people of Ely and Caerau will again be able to worship and praise God in it. It takes more than bricks and mortar to build a church, and Delia and Rosemary have shown us that love and loyalty are the most important building materials.
