The Parish church of All Saints, Oystermouth, is a mixture of ancient and modern Church buildings. The church site has been the location of Christian worship for over a thousand years. There was also a Roman presence here during the Roman occupation of Britain.
"In the 19th century the fortunes of the parish changed. As the village of Oystermouth grew to become a trading and tourist centre so the Church grew. In 1860 the north wall of the medieval Church was pulled down and replaced with the present arcade of five bays and a side aisle was built. In 1873 gas-light was installed as well as the first organ. In 1915 the Victorian extension was itself demolished to make way for the present nave and chancel. The work was completed by 1937." Text Source: (
