Image: EV-0051 — “Grievous loss”: letter from William Rees opposing demolition of Great House Farm

Quotation: the farmstead of Great House, or Ty Mawr, which still embodies some of its earlier features, serving as the manorhouse of Llandough.

Proves: A letter signed “William Rees, Penarth” published in the Western Mail opposes demolition of Great House Farm and calls it “the manorhouse of Llandough”.

Does not prove: Not a title record; Each step of the manorial chain needs separate primary sources. Says nothing of family tenure or the 1877 arrangement. Writer’s identity and exact year (1974 or 1977) unconfirmed.
