About The farm and farmhouse beside St Dochdwy’s Church, Llandough-juxta-Penarth (HER GGAT02038s; NPRN 20182).
The farm and farmhouse beside St Dochdwy’s Church, Llandough-juxta-Penarth (HER GGAT02038s; NPRN 20182). The records call it Cydfin Farm or Ty Mawr Farm (a Bute catalogue heading, application and dating under forensic examination), “Cedfin or Ty Mawr Farm” (1824 survey), “Great house” (directories 1868–1901), “Llandough Home Farm” (1881 census, linked to the farm by the directories), Ty-mawr (OS map) and Great House Farm. The farmhouse was demolished in December 1988. The family’s case: Parcel A (house, buildings, garden, the forest north of the house and the green south-east of it) and Parcel B (the eastern fields) have different histories.
The Llandough resurvey list is issued, four months after the demolition
Cadw records 13430 (Pound Cottage) and 13431 (the former National School and School-house) carry the designation date 6 April 1989, “Original list description of 1989”; 13432, the Church of St Dochdwy, 4 June 1989. Cadw wrote on 21 May 2026 that Great House Farm and the barn were “assessed and rejected for listing in the 1988 community survey of Llandough”.

Tears flow as 800 year-old farm house is razed at last
THE FINAL chapter in the 35-year battle over the ownership of Great House Farm in Llandough ended early yesterday when a team moved in to demolish the 800-year-old farm house.
HUNDREDS of people yesterday flocked to see an 800-year-old house, containing centuries-old furniture and china, which is in danger of being demolished by developers.
Planning permission to develop the land and build about 13 houses was given to B P Petroleum Pension Trust by the former Glamorgan County Council. But I will refuse to move because not only is this my home it is part of the nation’s heritage.
The ownership of the house has been in dispute for 25 years but my family has lived here for more than 400 years and my solicitors tell me I have a valid claim to it.
The second objection period under the Commons Registration Act 1965 ends. It covers VG41, the land by Leckwith Road provisionally registered as a village green on 16 June 1970. Notice is given to the public only; the Act requires no personal notice to the occupiers of the farm.
