Foreword For many years now the recording and protection afforded to the historic environment has been bound within the provisions of a number legislative Acts of Parliament. Indeed, the Vale of Glamorgan has over 100 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, over 700 Listed Buildings and 38 Conservation Areas that are afforded statutory protection by legislation. However, this system of statutory recognition, by its nature, only takes account of items of exceptional significance. Often there are locally important buildings that although acknowledged not to be of ‘national’ or ‘exceptional’ importance, are considered key examples of vernacular architecture or buildings, which have an important local history. It is these buildings which are often the main contributors to local distinctiveness, but which have to date, remained un-surveyed and afforded little recognition or protection. The original County Treasures project was published by the then South Glamorgan County Council in the late 1970’s. It was conceived as a locally adopted inventory of ‘special features’ in the former County area. However, as a result of local government restructuring, the changes to local authority boundaries, as well as changes in responsibilities and funding mechanisms the survey was never completed, and as a consequence was not comprehensive in its coverage. In the three decades that have passed since the original survey was attempted, the loss of a number of local buildings and landmarks, and the redevelopment of unprotected sites make the County Treasures project as relevant today as it was then. This publication is the culmination of the efforts of many individuals and groups who have been generously giving of their knowledge, time and commitment over a nearly ten year period, and without whom the County Treasures project would never have been possible. To all those involved, I extend my heart felt thanks in recognition of a job well done. We should be proud, therefore, that this version of the County Treasures survey is complete, robust and comprehensive. It is in another respect even more valuable than its predecessor, in that this Inventory has not been compiled by the local authority, but by the communities of the Vale themselves. Each of the 27 community areas within the Vale were surveyed by a volunteer workforce of local people, teachers, history society members, local Councillors and other interested individuals, who gave willingly and freely of their time to reveal and record the very many items that could conceivably be of architectural and historic interest; and which, further to detailed scrutiny, research and qualification, were considered worthy of inclusion. This inventory, therefore, more than any other provides an account of what is considered of local importance by local people. The complete Treasures Inventory contains some 1200 entries. It contains a schedule giving the name of each treasure, its description, its current means of statutory protection (where relevant), a grid reference, map and photograph. This 2007 Inventory should not however be seen as a ‘final product’, and although it indeed provides an excellent account and record at a fixed point in time, it also provides a framework for future additions and amendments, as more or new buildings become apparent, new information or change occurs.

ii

It is hoped that the Vale of Glamorgan County Treasures Inventory will serve several purposes:

• It will stimulate local, and wider interest, and promote care and maintenance of identified treasures.

• It will act as a valuable educational resource, perhaps allowing local schoolchildren to research locally as well as nationally significant events and buildings.

• It will ensure that treasures are fully regarded in the planning process where they are threatened by development pressures.

• It will stimulate protectionist policies within forthcoming development plans and perhaps the recognition of further areas for statutory designation.

The Vale of Glamorgan Council, Cadw, The Civic Trust for Wales, The Penarth Society, and The Vale Council for Voluntary Services have supported this project. Every attempt has been made to ensure that this document is as accurate as possible. The survey was undertaken between 2002 and 2007.

Rhagair Ers llawer o flynyddoedd bellach, mae’r gwaith o gofnodi ac amddiffyn yr amgylchedd hanesyddol yn cael ei reoli o dan amodau nifer o ddeddfau seneddol. Mae dros 100 o Henebion Rhestredig, dros 700 o Adeiladau Rhestredig a 38 o Ardaloedd Cadwraeth ym Mro Morgannwg sy’n cael eu hamddiffyn o dan y gyfraith yn y modd yma. Serch hynny, mae’n anochel bod system fel hon sydd wedi’i seilio ar gydnabyddiaeth statudol, yn rhoi ystyriaeth i eitemau o bwysigrwydd eithriadol yn unig. Mae hynny’n golygu bod llawer o adeiladau lleol sydd, er nad oes ganddynt unrhyw statws cenedlaethol nac eithriadol, yn dal yn nodedig am eu pensaernïaeth frodorol neu’n bwysig i hanes yr ardal. Yn amlach na pheidio, dyma’r union adeiladau sy’n rhoi cymeriad i ardal er na ddaeth neb i’w hadolygu erioed ac nad oes ganddynt fawr o statws na chynlluniau ar gyfer eu gwarchod. Hen Gyngor Sir De Morgannwg oedd yn gyfrifol am brosiect gwreiddiol Trysorau’r Sir a gyhoeddwyd ar ddiwedd y 1970au. Bwriad y prosiect oedd llunio rhestr leol o’r holl nodweddion arbennig rhwng ffiniau’r hen sir. Serch hynny, bu ad-drefnu llywodraeth leol, newid ffiniau awdurdodau lleol a newid cyfrifoldebau staff a threfniadau nawdd yn rhwystr i’r gwaith, ac am na chafodd yr arolwg ei gwblhau erioed, mae’r rhestr yn bell o fod yn gyflawn. Yn ystod y tri degawd ers cynnal yr arolwg gwreiddiol, mae nifer o adeiladau a nodweddion lleol amlwg wedi diflannu, a safleoedd diamddiffyn wedi’u datblygu, sy’n golygu bod y prosiect yn fwy perthnasol heddiw nag erioed. Ffrwyth ymdrech nifer o unigolion a grwpiau ymroddgar a fu’n rhoi’n hael o’u hamser a’u gwybodaeth am bron i ddeng mlynedd, yw’r cyhoeddiad hwn. Heb eu cymorth, ni fuasai’n bosibl cynnal prosiect Trysorau’r Sir o gwbl, a hoffwn ddiolch o galon i bawb am ddod i ben â’r gwaith mor dda. Mae pob rheswm i ni fod yn falch o’r fersiwn cyflawn, cadarn a chynhwysfawr hwn o’r arolwg ar Drysorau’r Sir. Mae’n fwy gwerthfawr fyth na’r un flaenorol hefyd am mai cymunedau’r Fro eu hunain a fu’n ei lunio’n hytrach na’r awdurdod lleol. Cafodd pob un o’r 27 cymuned yn y Fro ei hadolygu gan dîm gwirfoddol o bobl leol, athrawon, aelodau cymdeithasau hanesyddol, Cynghorwyr lleol a rhai eraill â diddordeb yn y maes. Rhoesant yn hael o’u hamser heb dâl er mwyn dod o hyd i’r holl eitemau a allai fod o ddiddordeb pensaernïol neu hanesyddol, a’u cofnodi. Cafodd y rhai teilwng eu hychwanegu at y rhestr ar ôl llawer o waith ymchwil ac archwilio manwl. Dyma’r rhestr felly sy’n adlewyrchu orau’r eitemau sydd o bwys gan bobl yn eu hardaloedd eu hunain. Mae 1200 o eitemau i gyd ar y rhestr drysorau gyflawn. Mae pob cofnod yn cynnwys enw’r eitem, disgrifiad ohoni, y ddarpariaeth sydd ar gael o dan y gyfraith ar gyfer ei gwarchod (pan fo hynny’n berthnasol), cyfeirnod grid, map a llun. Serch hynny, ni ddylid ystyried rhestr 2007 yn rhestr gyflawn o bell ffordd. Er ei bod yn adroddiad ardderchog ar y sefyllfa ar adeg benodol, mae’n bwysig ei gweld hefyd fel fframwaith ar gyfer addasu’r rhestr wrth i’r sefyllfa newid neu i adeiladau neu wybodaeth newydd ddod i’r golwg.

iv

Rydym yn gobeithio y bydd rhestr Trysorau Sir Bro Morgannwg yn: • ennyn diddordeb y gymuned leol a’r gymuned ehangach yn y trysorau hyn ac yn

annog pobl i ofalu amdanynt a’u cadw mewn cyflwr da. • helpu’n sylweddol gydag addysg plant ysgol drwy roi cyfle iddynt ymchwilio i

ddigwyddiadau ac adeiladau sydd o bwys lleol yn ogystal â chenedlaethol. • sicrhau bod pob ystyriaeth yn cael ei rhoi i’r trysorau wrth gynllunio pan fo perygl i

waith datblygu amharu arnynt. • atgyfnerthu’r polisïau gwarchod yn y cynlluniau datblygu nesaf a helpu i sicrhau bod

mwy o ardaloedd yn cael eu dynodi’n statudol. Mae Cyngor Bro Morgannwg, Cadw, Ymddiriedolaeth Ddinesig Cymru, Cymdeithas Penarth a Chyngor Gwasanaethau Gwirfoddol y Fro i gyd wedi cefnogi’r prosiect hwn.. Gwnaethpwyd pob ymgais i sicrhau bod y ddogfen hon yn fanwl gywir. Mae pob map yn cael ei ddiogelu gan hawlfraint y Goron (H) a chedwir pob hawl. Cyhoeddwyd y ddogfen gan Gyngor Bro Morgannwg o dan Rif Trwyddedu 100023424 2007.

Treasure 316


C15 fortified manor house, renovated and altered in C19. Known as Llandough Castle the house includes a C15 castle turret and C15 walling to adjacent southwest wing, extended probably in the late C16 and C17, and now incorporating C18 internal features. Llandough Castle was purchased by the late Sir Edward Carne of Nash, and later of Ewenny, in 1536. It was then converted into a residence. In 1677, the Castle came into the ownership of the Mansel family of Margam and remained in Mansel / Mansel-Talbot ownership until 1914.

Treasure 1388


Three storey stone mill building with two-storey cottage attached. The present structure was rebuilt in the 1840's by the lawyer Charles Reduneod who was living at 'The Cottage, Llandough'. He was also responsible for the creation of the water meadows running alongside the River Thaw adjacent to the mill. The mill was in operation as a corn grinding mill until the late 1920's. It was converted for residential use in the early 1970s.

A nicely proportioned house, believed to have been built in the C18 by the Jenkins family. Later in the century, this house served as The Rectory and was occupied by the scholar cleric and lexicographer, Revd John Walters, rector of Llandough 1759-1797. The stone appendage on the East side of the house once contained a distinctive beehive which is now in the Museum of Welsh Life, St Fagans. The house has recently been the subject of extensive renovation.

The church has C12 origins and is dedicated to Saint Hilarius, Bishop of Poitiers, who lived in the C4. No other church in Britain is named after him. Mainly decorated and perpendicular in style the medieval church comprises: nave, chancel, South aisle, embattled West tower with diagonal buttresses and two-light, square-headed bell-chamber openings. Other features include a Norman font of C13 origin and C14 effigies of the Basset family. In 1862 Sir George Gilbert Scott restored the church. The pulpit, lectern, altar rails and pews are all contemporary with Scott’s restoration. The chancel has a fine C19 carved alabaster altarpiece, depicting the Last Supper and the stained glass in the East window is by Clayton and Bell.

Mid C19 two-storey rubble building originally comprising two cottages formerly housing servants to the Manor. Based on an imaginative, approximately Z-shaped plan the design is also distinctive for the fact that both cottages have projecting chimney breasts to left gable ends, with twinned, diagonally set, stone stacks. A unique example of "back-to-back" housing in a rural environment. The masonry of the building also suggests earlier origins. Recently converted to single dwelling with contemporary extension.

Treasure 304


Substantial fortified manor house dating from the C14 to the early C17, now primarily a roofless ruin in state guardianship. The gatehouse of 1585 is connected to the main block by a wall walk. The building has many fine features including a renaissance porch of classical orders dated 1600 that fronts the Great Hall and chambers. The West wing of circa 1580 was added by the Bassett family. Towers on the East side, with vaulted undercrofts of medieval date, are part of the earlier, fortified house. One porch bears, in Welsh, the motto 'Better death than dishonour', later adopted by the Welch Regiment.
