Daily tide times are written on the Pavilion noticeboard How the tides work? High tide has taken place you need a minimum of 1.30hours after high tide to walk on the shoreline.

    Heritage Lottery Fund Suite 5A, Hodge House, Guildhall Place, Cardiff, CF10 1DY Directorate of Economic and Environmental Regeneration, Docks Office, Barry Dock, Vale of Glamorgan, CF63 4RT Conservation and Design Team, Docks Office, Barry Dock, Vale of Glamorgan, CF63 4RT CADW Welsh Assembly Government Plas Carew Unit 5/7 Cefn Coed Parc Nantgarw Cardiff CF15 7QQ Barry Community Enterprise Centre Skomer Road, Barry CF62 9DA Civic Trust for Wales Civic Trust for Wales 3rd Floor, Empire House, Mount Stuart Square Cardiff CF10 5FN The Penarth Society 3 Clive Place, Penarth, CF64 1AU 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.

    EWENNY PRIORY Ref number PGW (Gm) 14 (GLA) OS Map 170 Grid ref SS 912 778 Former county Mid Glamorgan Unitary authority The Vale of Glamorgan Community council Ewenny Designations Listed buildings: Ewenny Priory Grade I; Ewenny Priory House Grade II; Guardianship Ancient Monument: Ewenny Priory (Gm 190) Site evaluation Grade II Primary reasons for grading A historic house, built within the precinct of a mediaeval Benedictine priory, and incorporating parts of its claustral buildings. The garden occupies the monastic precinct, utilising some of its massive walling as walls for the kitchen garden. The walled sixteenth-century deer park belonging to the Tudor house survives to the south. Type of site Deer park; landscape park; informal gardens; walled kitchen garden Main phases of construction Second half of sixteenth century; 1803-05 Site description Ewenny Priory is situated on the flood plain of the Ogmore valley, just to the south of a canalized stretch of the river, to the south of Bridgend. A Benedictine Priory was founded here by Maurice de Londres of Ogmore Castle in about 1141. St Michael's church was built by William de Londres, Maurice's father, between 1116 and 1126. Later in the twelfth century, and with additions in about 1300, the substantial precinct walls and gatehouses were built, enclosing a roughly rectangular area to the south and west of the church, and giving the priory a fortified character. The house, outbuildings, and gardens were built within and incorporate parts of the monastic precinct. At the Dissolution the priory, which then had only three monks, was leased and shortly afterwards, in 1545, bought by Sir Edward Carne.

Pat Bevan-Morgan was telling me about a book by Jack Smith The Yeomen of Yore which is the story of the Glamorgan Yeomanry, the regiment of the towns and villages of the Vale of Glamorgan and the neighbouring districts, disbanded soon after the end of the First World War. The memorial “to the immortal memory of those officers, NCOs and men of the Glamorgan Yeomanry who fell in the Great War" stands on Stalling Down, outside Cowbridge. As I was to preach at a community service to commemorate the outbreak of the First World War the following Sunday in St Theodore’s Church, Kenfig Hill, I asked Pat if I could borrow the book, as I wanted to show the impact the First World War had on our communities.
