St Mary's Church was an Anglican church which stood at the south end of the current St. Mary's Street, Cardiff, from 1107 until 1620. Located next to the River Taff, it was suseptable to flooding, and so the monks were withdrawn by the sponsoring Tewkesbury Abbey in 1211.[1]
After the Bristol Channel floods of 1607 washed away much of its foundations, it slowly began to collapse. The decision was made to make St John's the main parish church, which was originally just an offshot development.
In 1631, the Puritan vicar of St Mary's, William Erbery was forced to resign, and his curate Walter Cradock had his licence revoked, because of their extreme evangelical views.[1]
After the diversion of the River Taff by Isambard Kingdom Brunel to build Cardiff Central railway station in 1850, and the resultant creation of Westgate Street, the site was the location of the Prince of Wales theatre. Itself demolished, the site is now the location of the current Prince of Wales public house.[1]
