Dated notes
- 1849 — Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary of Wales describes the parish: Cardiff poor-law union, hundred of Dinas-Powys, 4 miles south-west of Cardiff, 133 inhabitants; the living “a discharged rectory, united to the livings of Leckwith and Cogan”; the church dedicated to Dôchdwy, with an old cross shaft in the churchyard; a fifth-century monastery tradition that Lewis notes is “not supported by any satisfactory authority”; and a small circular mound south-east of the church, “probably an outpost”. The entry does not name Great House or Tŷ Mawr; parish context only (EV-0647).
