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 (Bute catalogue, 1552–1824), “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. Our 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.
