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.
i 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.

ii 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.
iii 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.

Probably contemporary with the 1840's enlargement and remodelling of Hensol Castle which was carried out by T. H. Wyatt and D. Brandon, architects of London for the industrialist Rowland Fothergill who bought the estate in 1838. Broad and ramped 4-arch stone bridge of coursed rubble construction with part-balustraded parapets. This unusual, even number, gives the bridge an ornamental character which is strengthened by the deliberately over-size nature of these arches, suggesting a major river rather than a slow leet to a mill.

Tudor Gothic lodge in a less picturesque style than that of Hensol Castle but almost certainly by the same architects. Possible influence of John Nash whose much publicised 'cottage style' buildings had become models for individual small scale dwellings and lodges to landscaped parks. Substantially extended to North.

Nave, chancel, South porch and large embattled tower containing a ring of six bells. There are some interesting features of the Church which can be definitely assigned to pre- Reformation times, the chancel arch being in the early perpendicular style of the 14th century. The stairs to the rood loft are perfectly preserved, and in the chancel there is a priest’s door which is walled up within. Despite the fact that the surviving parish registers date back only to 1727, it has been possible to compile a fairly complete list of incumbents from Elizabethan times onwards. The first record of a priest of Pendoylan ‘Sacredos de Pondewelin’ was of one ‘Urban’ who sometime prior to the year 1205 had given 12 acres of land to the monks of Margam, his gift being confirmed by King John in that year. Listed at grade II* for its medieval origins and special historic significance to the parish of Pendoylan.

The cottages were of very basic one up, one down plus kitchen construction with a fireplace stair. There was no running water, but the use of a standpipe outside. In 1995, the cottages were extensively renovated. A large tablet on the north wall of the chancel of the parish church names the benefactors and describes the way in which the cottages were built for the poor of the parish.

T J Hopkins states that the length of time during which there has been an inn on the present site is unknown, but one has probably stood there for many centuries. The Alehouse Recognizances of 16 September 1824 show the innkeeper as being William Burton with Llewellyn Yorath of Llanharry standing surety. The censuses between 1841 and 1871 show the proprietor as Thomas Llewellyn, ‘Agricultural Labourer’ in 1841, ‘Publican and Farmer of 20 acres’ in 1851, ‘Farmer of 32 acres and Publican’ in 1861 and ‘Farmer of 25 acres and Publican’ in 1871. In 1881 and 1891 it was in the hands of David Williams ‘Publican and Farmer of 60 acres’. It is now a local village inn with restaurant.

Presbyterian Church of Wales. The present building was completed in 1871, the foundation stone having been laid by Judge Gwilym Williams of Miskin Manor in 1870. The powerful and lasting effects of the 1859 revival necessitated a larger building than the prefabricated building in front of Clawdd Coch farmhouse which preceded it. One of the elders of the chapel was Mr William Evans of Tyfry who was the maternal grandfather of Dame Clara Novello Davies and great grandfather of Ifor Novello.

a Good example of early 19th century gentry farmhouse set within landscaped parkland with serpentine driveway, now sub-divided into two dwellings. Formerly the principal farmhouse to the Hensol estate which was let by the Talbot family to Mr Samuel Richardson, High Sheriff of Glamorgan in 1798. Richardson was a great agricultural improver and it is likely that this commodious farmhouse dates from Richardson's occupancy. Listed grade II as a good example of an early C19th gentry farmhouse of unaltered and unextended plan, with important historic links to the Hensol estate.
