'An impressive part of the [consecration] service was that connected with the placing of sacred relics in a cavity at the centre of the altar. The relics were in a casket, and the builder (Mr. W. T. Morgan, Cardiff) hermetically sealed them' - extract from Evening Express, 31 Oct 1907 accessed via Welsh Newspapers Online.
