Proves: Glamorgan County Council published a statutory notice in September 1958 for land near Cogan Pill, listing Western Ground Rents as an owner.
Does not prove: It does not show that any plot in the notice was land claimed by the family.
Interpretation: working hypotheses
Working hypotheses, kept apart from the record above. The record text on this page is unchanged. None of these is a finding: each line is labelled as inference, theory, a reading that cuts against the case, or a discarded theory, and names the evidence it rests on and what would confirm or refute it, so the reader can test it. Updated 25 Oct 2026 (v2: ingredients wording).
Demolition, archaeology and the green
THEORY · H-03Ground R8: VG41 was registered in 1970 by Glamorgan County Council as registration authority; the same council's planning committee had heard her, reported as Mrs M. D. Buckler, on 19 Nov 1958 describe her family's land as "wrongfully appropriated". Working hypothesis: a separate route on the green, not a ground to reopen the 1987 judgment.
Rests on: EV-0044 · EV-0263 · EV-0232 · EV-0035 · EV-0036 (this page) · ground R8
Would be confirmed by: The Commons Commissioner or county council file on VG41.
Would be refuted by: A file showing the 1958 hearing and the green were handled by unconnected officers with no notice of the dispute.
Status: Open (ground R8, scores a1 b0 c2 d1)
