An Inventory of the Ancient Monuments in Glamorgan: Domestic architecture from the Reformation to the Industrial Revolution. Part 2, Farmhouses and cottages
Description:... This Inventory forms Part ii of Volume IV of the series
planned for the county of Glamorgan. Volume III is intended to survey the
secular monuments of the Middle Ages: Part i, defensive, and Part ii,
nondefensive. Volume IV is intended to survey the secular monuments of the
period between the Reformation and the Industrial Revolution: Part i The
Greater Houses, and Part ii The Farmhouses and Cottages. When complete, the
series should provide a comprehensive description of the surviving dwellings of
the people of Glamorgan, both fortified and unfortified, from the time of the
Norman invasion until the accession of George III, together with a few selected
monuments of later date. In Part i of the present volume were described the
principal residences of the major land-owning families built between ca. 1540
and 1760. In all, 42 houses were fully illustrated and described. In Part ii
will be found some of the secondary residences of those families, as well as
houses of lesser landowners, but chiefly recorded here are the houses of minor
gentry and the tenant farmers, yeomen, and husbandmen, effectively the 'middle
class' of rural society. In all, 1,136 houses have been noted. In addition a
selection of farmbuildings has been included, a total of 342 being noted.
