Michaelston-le-Pit

Michaelston-le-Pit Village Green

Michaelston-le-Pit (Welsh: Llanfihangel-y-pwll) is a village to the west of the city of Cardiff, Wales.

To the south lies Penarth, while to the south west lies the village of Dinas Powys.

The village is built near the coonfluence of two small streams, which join to form the Cadoxton River. The name is believed to be Norman. Llanfihangel-y-pwll means The Church of St Michael in the Pit, and indeed the local church is called St Michael's. It is not to be confused with Michaelston-super-Ely or Michaelstone-y-Fedw.

Notable people

Rev. Henry Holmes Stewart (1847–1937), who won the FA Cup with Wanderers in 1873, was rector at the parish church from 1925 to 1935.^[1]

The village is the home to former Welsh Assembly leader Rhodri Morgan.^{[citation needed]}
