The Radyr and Morganstown Local History Society meets regularly at the Methodist Church for a series of talks on topics of local interest. Some recent talks have included the History of Cardiff, the Vikings in Wales and the Parish of Pentyrch. We also organise local history walks, e.g. walking the Penarth Docks. Recent trips took in Llandeilo, Dinefwr Castle and New Town House.
The Local History Society have produced a series of historical works on the parish.
