In February 1941 the church was extensively damaged by Bombing during the Blitz. It was not rebuilt until the 1950s. From the 1890s the Swansea Devil stood on a set of buildings facing the west side of the church, constructed by a disgruntled rival of Blomfield's, angry at the commissioning of Blomfield's designs over his own.
