The family’s working name for the wider historic holding around Great House Farm, Llandough and Leckwith. The records give Cydwin (a Herbert–Vaughan lease, not a Tŷ Mawr record; under forensic examination), “Cydfin Farm or Ty Mawr Farm, (107 a.)” (a Bute catalogue heading, application and dating under forensic examination), “Cedfin or Ty Mawr Farm” (1824) and Cwm Cydfin Wood (1902). A research hypothesis: names alone do not prove boundaries or title.
No public statements found yet; the record below involves them.
Catalogue entry for the Bute coppice-woods auction including “Cwm Cydfin Wood (Leckwith and Llandough)”. Whether the soil or only the timber and coppice rights were sold, to whom and on what terms, is not in the catalogue.
David Stewart’s survey of the Bute estates in Glamorgan maps the farm on plan 19 as “Cedfin or Ty Mawr Farm”, 139 acres 3 roods 8 perches.
