Synopsis

One of the most beautiful buildings in Cardiff, the capital of Wales, is one of its least well-known: Nazareth House. Built by the Third Marquess of Bute, this outstanding example of ecclesiastical and Gothic Revival architecture stands as a monument to one of the most extraordinary figures in the history of this ancient city — and the enduring Faith of its people. The Very Rev. Fr. Sebastian Jones, superior of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri at Cardiff, examines the history of the design and architecture of the building, with an extensive and rigorous approach that is nonetheless readable and approachable. Featuring scores of drawings, including never-before-seen plans of the building, this book brings the reader into the world of nobility and clergy, nuns and orphans.
