As also one penny rent from John, son of John Godman of Kaerdif, for three other acres in the same Sudcrofte under Kanetone." (Richard de Kaneton was also one of the witnesses to this charter.)
A medieval market
From around 1250, for several hundred years Canton Cross was the site of the largest and most significant trading market in the
South Wales area. The market was open daily except Sundays on the extensive Canton common lands at the junction where Llandaff Road and Leckwith Road now cross
Cowbridge Road East, opposite where the Canton Cross Vaults public house still stands.
Goods, including all manner of fresh food stuffs, live animals and household items were brought from all over Cardiff and the
South Wales Valleys to be traded at the market. Items that were to be exported were then transported or herded to the docks at Cardiff,
Penarth and
Swanbridge. Imports of fresh foods and tradeable goods were also brought to the market from those ports.
In the year 1450, stewardship of the Manor of Caneton is recorded as having been granted to
Sir David ap Mathew, Lord of Llandaff manor but a resident of
Radyr.
