  • The Vale Resort Unveils Historic Conference Venue for 2015
    Press release 9 February 2015 The Vale Resort unveils historic conference venue for 2015 An historic castle in south Wales, which has been used as stage set for Sherlock, Doctor Who and Torchwood, is reopening as a conference venue for the 2015 season, following the first phase of a multi-million pound refurbishment to restore it to its former glory. The 400-year old Hensol Castle, located within the grounds of the Vale Resort, is undergoing a £10 million revamp, the first phase of which will include introducing conference facilities in the new purpose-built Courtyard Hall, capable of hosting 320 delegates theatre- style and 200 delegates banquet-style. The facilities at Courtyard Hall will be complemented by five smaller meeting rooms in the castle itself that can host between 10-100 delegates per room theatre-style, all of which will be available from April 2015. Phase two of the investment will include adding up to 30 bedrooms and a top-end restaurant with 120 covers, expected to be open by late 2016. The Courtyard Hall has been designed to be energy efficient with heat-retaining and heat- reflective glass, low energy lighting and a natural grass and wildflower roof. Meanwhile, the 17 th -century castle has original architecture, turrets, gothic towers and feature staircases, and its restoration is being completed in close association with the Vale of Glamorgan Council and CADW, the Welsh Government’s body responsible for preserving Welsh heritage. The former stately home, situated six miles outside of Cardiff city centre and three minutes off junction 34 of the M4, is set within landscaped gardens and has a 15-acre lake and serpentine pond.

  • SOME NOTES on COWBRIDGE CHURCH A. U
    a«U SOME NOTES ON COWBRIDGE CHURCH IIow old would you say the Parish Church of Cowbridge is? A. That's a question we often get asked and it is really very difficult to answer. A church is a living thing and grows or dies with each succeeding generation. it will contain remains of the very old Churchr aid the long distant past, and contri­ butions from almost every generation afterwards. Holy Cross Church is certainly part of a very ancient grouping of Churches under the Mother Church of Llanblethian. Somewhere between the years 1153-H83 the then Bishop of Llandaff, Nicholas ap Gwrgant, executed a Deed of Gift to the Monks of Tewkesbury Abbey, making over to them certain Benefices in this area. He named Llanblethian in this Gift, also Welsh St. Donat's, but although Llanblethian and Cowbridge are within sight of each other and have never, as far as all our information goes, done other than O j ? o ^ c i . share one and the same Incumbent, Cowhridge^was not named among the others. But there was mention of a Parish called St. James, Llan- quian, also conferred on Tewkesbury. This Church of St. James, Llanquian, remains a bit of a mystery. it may well once have had a separate existence in Aberthin, where the name Llanquian is still found and certain church ruins. It may even by this early date *1 have ceased to exist as a separate Parish Church (if it ever was one) and have become somehow absorbed in to the larg er Church a t Cowbridge.

    FONMON CASTLE Ref number PGW (Gm) 39 (GLA) OS Map 170 Grid ref ST 047 680 Former county South Glamorgan Unitary authority The Vale of Glamorgan Community council Penmark Designations Listed buildings: Fonmon Castle Grade I; Stables Grade II; Watch tower Grade II Site evaluation Grade II Primary reasons for grading Walled, terraced and informal gardens form an attractive setting for this ancient castle, continually occupied since the mediaeval period. The grounds incorporate an interesting small keep which was once set in its own garden. Type of site Formal and informal gardens and grounds Main phases of construction 1656-74; c. 1762; 1840-78 Site description Fonmon Castle is a substantial mansion situated on the western lip of a steep ravine below the gardens and castle in which the Fonmon Brook runs northwards to join the Kenson river. Castellation, rendering and Georgian sash windows give the castle a uniform appearance, but in fact they mask several building phases, from the mediaeval period onwards. The house, which is two- and three-storey and rendered, is orientated north- south, with a small entrance court, open to the west, at the south end of the west side. Much of the south end is covered in Virginia creeper. The earliest part of the building is a rectangular early twelfth-century keep, which lies along the north side of the court, orientated east-west. The west end of this three-storey block is blank except for a large Venetian window with a flight of steps to the north up to a platform in front of it.
