St Cadoc's Church, Llancarfan is a Grade I listed building in Llancarfan, in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales. It dates from the 13th century and became a Grade I listed building on 28 January 1963. It is one of several churches in Wales dedicated to St Cadoc, but it was at Llancarfan that the saint is believed to have served as abbot of, or possibly founded, a monastery of some importance. The name "Llancarfan" means "church of the stags". The church once had a chancel window said to be a masterpiece of stained glass. During the reign of Oliver Cromwell a local man named Whitton Bush destroyed the window by repeatedly beating it while shouting "Down with the Whore of Babylon!"
