County Treasures
The concept of ‘County Treasures’ dates back to pre-1974 when
South Glamorgan County Council attempted to produce an inventory of
historic assets located in its administrative area. Unfortunately
that project was never comprehensively completed within the Vale of
Glamorgan and some communities were never surveyed.
Each of the 27 community areas within the Vale were surveyed by
a volunteer workforce of local people, teachers, history society
members, local Councillors and other interested individuals to
reveal and record the many items that could be of architectural and
historic interest; and which, further to detailed scrutiny,
research and qualification, were considered worthy of inclusion.
This inventory, therefore, more than any other provides an account
of what is considered of local importance by local people.
It contains scheduled ancient monuments, listed buildings,
listed parks and gardens and buildings that are of local importance
but that are not contained within the statutory list.
Entry on the list does not imply any right of access to
properties that are not in public ownership. The privacy of
property owners should be respected at all times.
