Located on the south side of St Fagans Road, St. Peter's is in the Church in Wales parish of Fairwater, diocese of Llandaff. The Earl of Plymouth laid the foundation stone on October 3rd 1936. The completed church was dedicated on January 30th 1937. In the early 1960s plans were drawn up to extend the church.

Nowadays, St. Peter’s holds regular services and events, welcoming both locals and visitors to worship and connect with others. St. Peter’s reaches out to the Fairwater and Pentrebane community and really is a spiritual hub for the local area.
