Names on the land

iOutside records

How we treat outside records. Tŷ Mawr is first named in the record we have found in David Stewart’s 1824 survey (EV-0211). The Williams family acquired Tŷ Mawr in 1667 (sources: Mary Williams’ statement in the 1974 newspapers; ITV News, 1988). Earlier documents on this page that come from the Bute estate or other third parties, such as the Cydwin lease or a Bute catalogue heading, are not records of Tŷ Mawr: their application to it is under forensic examination, and we test them rather than repeat them. Our methodMae Tŷ Mawr wedi’i enwi gyntaf yn y cofnod a gawsom yn arolwg David Stewart, 1824. Cafodd teulu Williams Dŷ Mawr yn 1667 (ffynonellau: datganiad Mary Williams yn y papurau newydd, 1974; ITV News, 1988). Nid yw dogfennau cynharach gan ystâd Bute neu eraill yn gofnodion o Tŷ Mawr; maent dan archwiliad fforensig.Tŷ Mawr aparece nombrado por primera vez en el registro que hemos hallado en el catastro de David Stewart de 1824. La familia Williams adquirió Tŷ Mawr en 1667 (fuentes: declaración de Mary Williams en la prensa de 1974; ITV News, 1988). Los documentos anteriores de la finca Bute u otros terceros no son registros de Tŷ Mawr; están bajo examen forense.

The house was known as Tŷ Mawr and, in English, Great House. Older names for a holding at Llandough appear in research notes on the wiki: Cwm-Cedwyn, the wooded dell on the River Ely; and Cydwin or Cydfin in estate papers. The documents behind those notes are still being traced, so they are given here with their status plainly marked.

1392 — Cwm-Cedwyn in the Llandough boundary records

Record:

EV-0001 (Legal Wiki, Evidence Register)

What the record shows. A research note on the wiki cites a reference of 1392 to Cwm-Cedwyn, the wooded dell on the Ely, in Llandough boundary records.

What it does not show. The 1392 document itself is not yet held; the reference is SOURCE PENDING.

1547 — A 1,000-year lease of “Cydwin”

Record:

EV-0002 (Legal Wiki, Evidence Register)

What the record shows. A research note records that in 1547 Sir George Herbert granted Vaughan a lease of Cydwin in the manor of Llandough for 1,000 years.

What it does not show. The lease is not yet held and its parties, date and extent are SOURCE PENDING. No link to the farmhouse is made by the note alone.
