The City Parish of St John the Baptist is among the oldest in Cardiff. The church is next to city centre's covered market, and is the oldest remaining mediaeval building in the city after Cardiff Castle, dating from 1090 AD.
"The first parish Church of Cardiff with its eight chapels of the Lordship of Cardiff was founded just before 1100 by Robert Fitzhamon, the first Lord of Glamorgan, on the banks of the river Taff (which gave the city its name - i.e. Caer-Dâf), and dedicated in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Saint Mary Street one of the town's central thoroughfares takes its name from this ancient foundation. At this time it served a growing town along with a chapel of ease, near Cardiff Castle, dedicated to St John the Baptist, less than half a mile away at the other end of St Mary Street."
