It was here that fi nancial accounts were brought to be approved by the Justi ce of Peace and various warrants were signed for the apprehension of wrongdoers. In 1791, gruesome history was made when Catharine Griffi th, a former Parc servant, and her husband, Henry James, were hanged for breaking into Parc-y-Justi ce and stealing a quanti ty of silver. About seven years prior to this incident, Catharine, at times with her husband Henry or another accomplice, travelled around the country stealing small amounts of items. This conduct eventually led to their executi on. Catharine, at about 31 years of age, was the last woman to be publicly hanged in Wales. Creigiau during the Second World War In July 1942, during the Second World War, bombs fell on Pant-y-Gored Road. A cry went up that the ‘Woodlands’ house was on fi re and by morning it was a smouldering shell.
