After the death in 1738 of Sir Thomas Stradling (the last male heir), Sully manor fell to the share of Sir John de la Fountain Tyrwhitt, by the Act of Parliament on 1755 for partitioning the Stradling estates. The manor was held by the Tyrwhitt Drake family until 1812, when it was sold to Evan Thomas esq. It was purchased by Sir Josiah John Guest in 1838, whose descendant, Lord Wimborne, sold it to Lieutenant-Commander Charles E Evans, RNVR, in 1917. Scope and content The original and copy documents which form this collection have been gathered by successive owners of Sully manor to give evidence in disputes and law-suits on the following occasions: By Josiah John Guest concerning rights on the Sheeping Moor, 1842 and concerning boundary of Sully, Cadoxtan-juxta-Barry and St Andrew’s Major parishes, 1842 By Lord Wimborne concerning rights of lord of the manor to the foreshore, 1889 By Commander Evans concerning rights of lord of the manor to the foreshore,1925 [Numbers, ‘A’ numbers, and ‘Bundle’ numbers refer to endorsements on the documents] Appraisal, destruction and scheduling information All records offered have been accepted and listed Conditions governing access Open Access Conditions governing reproduction Normal Glamorgan Record Office conditions apply.

This document provides the Welsh Government’s Report to the National Assembly for Wales on the Marine Protected Areas network, in response to recommendation 10 of the Environment and Sustainability Committee’s Marine Inquiry. Recommendation 10: By the 31 December 2013, the Welsh Government should voluntarily lay before the Assembly a report that meets the requirement of section 124 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. This report should include an appraisal of the environmental status, governance and enforcement of existing marine protected areas. 2. Section 124 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (the Marine Act) requires the Welsh Ministers to lay a report before the National Assembly for Wales on the extent to which it has achieved the objectives in the Marine Act to use conservation sites to contribute to a UK network of marine protected areas. The report must cover further steps needed to meet the network objectives, as well as specific details on any Marine Conservation Zones that have been designated. 3. The network objectives as detailed in section 123 of the Marine Act are that European marine sites (Special Areas of Conservation, Special Protection Areas), Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Ramsar sites form a network which contributes to the conservation or improvement of the marine environment in the UK marine area; where the features which are protected by the sites comprised in the network represent the range of features present in the UK marine area; and recognises the conservation of a feature may require the designation of more than one site.

    November 2020 Lorry re-route is good news for community Welsh Deputy Minister and Chief Whip Jane Hutt, and Vale of Glamorgan MP Alun Cairns, have welcomed our recent move to re-route some of our Tarmac lorries on their journey to and from Ewenny and Bridgend. on The upgrade of a section of the B4270 means that Tarmac lorries (like the one seen here) and contractor hauliers can now use this new route to reach the A48, avoiding the B4265 which runs through Wick and St Brides Major.

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.
