History
The building was built between 1859 and 1861 by Ewan Christian, who was the architect for the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.[3][1] It is a right-hand house with its neighbour being St Andrew.[1] Both semi-detached houses were built for minor canons of Llandaff Cathedral.[3] It was built with multi-coloured stones, both square or rectangular in shape, and with Bath stone, ashlar dressings and Welsh slate roof.[1]
