"The parish of Baglan, situated towards the north of the town of Port Talbot has three Churches within its boundaries, only two of these are now used. One of these, the Mother Church, is St. Catharine's Church, the other is St. Baglans Church. The third, the first St. Baglans Church, is now a shell after a fire in 1954.
The foundation stone for St. Catharine's - a Grade 1 Listed Church - is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Griffith Llewellyn of Baglan Hall, and dedicated to St. Catharine of Alexandria. It was laid on June 26th 1875, and consecrated by Dr Ollivant, Bishop of Llandaff, on March 7th 1882." Text Source: (
