Five Bedrooms and two Bathrooms. Garage and Workshop Block. Large charming Gardens with Orchard, Vegetable Garden, Paddock. Secondary glazed throughout. Freehold. Price £i5Ü,UÛG This early property restored to retain it's Period charm and with lots of interesting features, provides a substantial spacious luxurious family home of character. Probably dating from the 17th Century the property has had little by way of additions made to it and is therefore a striking example of a thatched farmhouse. Internally there is a good modern Kitchen with adjacent Breakfast area, modern Bathrooms and Cloakroom combining well with the particularly spacious and attractive Reception Rooms. The village of Llampha is rural and off the beaten track yet there are three M4 access points within approximately 10 minutes travelling and the industrial area of Bridgend lies close by yet entirely separate from the village, the general station with its high speed trains to London being less than 3 miles away. The Capital City is some 25 minutes away, with Swansea approximately 30 minutes. Cowbridge, the Vale of Glamorgáns' market town is approximately 5 miles away, with its health centre, library, leisure centre in course of construction and general excellent guality shopping.

These form the principal ways by which buildings, monuments and wider areas that make up the built cultural heritage of the Vale of Glamorgan are recognised. 1.2 It is also evident, however, that a number of other buildings and elements, whilst not of equal merit or interest in comparison with nationally recognised examples, are nevertheless of considerable local interest and value. 1.3 This supplementary planning guidance is specifically concerned with locally identified entries contained within the County Treasures list. 2.0 BACKGROUND TO THE COUNTY TREASURES INVENTORY 2.1 The County Treasures project is unique in Wales providing a unified list of historic built assets located in the Vale of Glamorgan.

  • Colwinston: a Historical Journey
    Colwinston: a historical journey by Chris Hawker First published by Cowbridge History Society, 2018 ISBN 978-1-9996874-0-3 © Chris Hawker, 2018 2 Cover illustration: Corner House Farm (now The Sages). Below: Colwinston Church Both sketches by Jeff Alden. Reproduced by kind permission of Mrs Betty Alden. 3 Acknowledgements I am very grateful to the very many people who have informed the development of this ‘story’. Mention must be made of Phil Jones who shaped many ideas and whose enthusiasm has kept local history alive in the village. Personal stories told to me by Clive Hawkins, Gwynneth Jeavons, Sheila and Jack Madge, Marion and Will Thomas and others tell of life in the more recent past. Richard and Myfanwy Edwards have given an insight into recent farming development. Pam Haines has prepared a history of the Church from which I have borrowed. This ‘project’ started with reading R. Gwyn Thomas’ History of Colwinston, based on a personal archive he built over many years as a tenant farmer, District and County Councillor, and a true champion of the village in the second half of the 20th century. This history is intended to complement and update his work, taking a more chronological approach. It will also be supported by the forthcoming publication of an updated village record, Colwinston – A Changing Village, being published by the local community, led by Heather Maclehose. Cowbridge History Society encouraged me to develop this into a final text, in particular putting me in touch with local experts and advising on the final presentation. The accuracy and authenticity of the work has depended heavily on the detailed knowledge and authority of Brian Ll.

  • CARDINAL BEAUFORT and ALICE of ARUNDEL by Brad Verity1
    -246- NON-AFFAIR TO REMEMBER A NON-AFFAIR TO REMEMBER – THE ALLEGED LIAISON OF CARDINAL BEAUFORT AND ALICE OF ARUNDEL by Brad Verity1 ABSTRACT This article explores the historiography of the Beaufort/Arundel affair. It examines what can be determined from contemporary records about the early years of the Cardinal, his illegitimate daughter, and their relationship, as well as the lives of Alice and the Arundel daughters. Evidence that the affair never took place will be followed by a theory of how and why Alice of Arundel was put forward as the mistress of Beaufort and mother of his child. Foundations (2004) 1 (4): 246-268 © Copyright FMG In a magnificent chantry within Winchester Cathedral lies the tomb of Henry Beaufort (c.1375-1447), Bishop of Winchester, the first English bishop of royal blood since the 12th century and the first cardinal to retain his English see (Harriss, 1988, p.395). The power and influence Beaufort wielded as a statesman and diplomat – he served as Chancellor to his half-brother Henry IV, his nephew Henry V, and his great-nephew Henry VI – underscore his abilities as a man of wisdom, self-confidence and competence. He inspired just as much jealousy and apprehension as admiration among his contemporaries. “Proud, ambitious, and avaricious, delegating his spiritual responsibility in his diocese to subordinates, he stands as the exemplar of a worldly political prelate in late medieval England, outshining even Thomas Wolsey.” (Cannon, 2002). Cardinal Beaufort is perhaps best remembered today for his role in the trial of Joan of Arc in 1431. What is generally not known is that the Cardinal who watched the French peasant maiden burn at the stake had an illegitimate daughter with the same first name.
