In the 1890's, St. Mary's Church in the centre of Swansea was to be rebuilt and amongst applicants for the job of architect behind this mammoth project were a local architect and Sir Arthur Blomfield.
Sir Arthur won the commission, and feeling sore and slighted at an outsider working on the church, the local architect bided his time, buying a row of buildings directly opposite the church, tore them down and rebuilt offices for a brewery, whereupon he perched a carving of this Devil, glowering into the church built by his rival.
Upon the opening of his brewery offices, he declared "When your church is destroyed and burnt to the ground my devil will remain laughing". There the Devil sat for years until February 1941 when Swansea was blitzed over three nights. The Devil's station went unscathed, but St Mary's was battered and the flames from the building most likely illuminated the smirking creature sat opposite! His story doesn't end there, alas my space is short!
