Great House Farm

Great House Farm previously stood alongside St Dochdwy's church, and was the site of a Celtic monastery and a missionary centre. The remains of a soldier and his horse were found under the floor of the dining room when work to replace the stone floor with timber was undertaken. It is believed that there may have been a battle on the site and the soldier was buried where he lay in his armour. His remains were re-buried in St Dochdwy's churchyard and his visor and lance are now in the

. A petition for the preservation of the farm was signed by 1,700 in 1974. The farm was opened on occasions for locals, schoolchildren, and visitors to learn about how people lived in the past, how they made dried pork, cheese, butter, beer, and sent sheep's wool to the woollen mill on Leckwith Hill for spinning into yarn. A cheese drying room was hollowed out of a solid wall. There was also a bedroom where travelling monks from earlier centuries would have taken their rest.

Barons Court

Baron's Court, originally known as Cogan Pill, is a late 15th or early 16th-century hall house with later 19th-century additions. It was built for Sir Mathew Cradock (died 1531) and passed his grandson Sir George Herbert, the first Sherif of Glamorgan (1494 to 1543). His younger son William, who was sheriff in 1552 and 1567 reputedly enlarged the house. It remained in the Herbert family, who also held St Fagans Castle, for many generations, later becoming a farmhouse in 1642 with the grand hall converted to a barn. In 1790 the building was purchased by Lord Bute. Restored and remodelled c 1850 by H S Corbett, relative and agent of the Marquess of Bute, as a house for himself. Many of the current features of the building date from this restoration, but it is to be noted that it is the only surviving medieval hall building in South Wales still open from floor to roof. It has since been a

The National School

The stone building on the corner of Penlan Road and Lewis Road was the first National School in the Penarth Area, dating from 1825. It was the initiative of the rector, Rev. James Evans, and was supported by the 2nd Marquess of Bute. At that time the population of Llandough was around 200, and the majority had Welsh as their first language. The school building was constructed in stone with a slate roof and brick-edged windows and was planned to accommodate between 50 and 60 children. Behind the school a smaller house, 2 Lewis Road, was constructed for the residence of the school teacher. By 1870 the village's population had increased to over 700, and the school was replaced by a new building opposite in 1872. The new school was planned to accommodate around 125 children and served as an elementary school until January 1941, when it became badly damaged by bombing during
