Great House Farm — Building Name Nomenclature

Identity lock: This nomenclature page controls the historical building / property names used for Great House Farm / Tŷ Mawr at Llandough-juxta-Penarth. It is separate from the location-name nomenclature page.

Building / property names — verified and unconfirmed

• Great House Farm — principal Wiki and HER name.
• Great House — historical short form.
• Tŷ Mawr — Welsh form meaning Great House.
• Ty Mawr Farm — archival catalogue form.
• Church Farm / Llandough Church Farm — source-specific wording; NOT an established Great House Farm name variant. Amgueddfa Cymru uses the phrase in the provenance of accession 63.24 for objects said to have been found about 1858. The underlying record does not itself say “Great House Farm” or “Tŷ Mawr”, and no period source expressly equating the names has yet been identified. The Wiki therefore records “Church Farm” here only so researchers can find and test the source term. It must not be treated as a synonym, alias or building name for Great House Farm. It is also not the same as the separately located Llandough Farm (opposite hospital).
• Cydfin Farm — form explicitly recorded in NLW Bute Estate D219 for “Cydfin Farm or Ty Mawr Farm, (107 a.)”.
• Cedfin — form recorded in the research corpus from David Stewart’s 1824 Bute survey; exact original wording remains a document-level verification target.
• Cedfyn — retained as a research/search variant, not independently verified as a primary Great House spelling.
• Cedwyn — research-corpus form associated with 16th-century Llandough freehold/Vaughan material; underlying property document requires verification.
• Cefin — search variant; primary occurrence tied to Great House remains unconfirmed.

Functional building terms

Do not infer identity from proximity: a source describing a “Church Farm” or “Llandough Church Farm” is not thereby describing Great House Farm. Great House Farm and the separate Llandough Farm opposite the hospital are both in Llandough near Penarth/Cardiff.

• Farmhouse / farm house — functional description. See Farmhouse Nomenclature.
• Manor house — contextual historical description, not adopted as a proven documentary title.
• Coach house — use only where the source identifies the relevant outbuilding.

How the selector works

Across the Wiki, a historical name should remain visibly faithful to its citation. The selector is therefore a name resolver, not a rewriting device: the cited spelling is the default label; selecting another reel item leads to this nomenclature page and its exact anchor. The location/town selector is maintained separately.

Identity and disambiguation

This page concerns Great House Farm / Tŷ Mawr beside St Dochdwy’s Church at Llandough-juxta-Penarth, around ST16707335 / NPRN 20182. Church Farm / Llandough Church Farm is not an established alias of this property. It is a source-specific term from Amgueddfa Cymru’s 63.24 provenance whose identity remains unresolved. The separately evidenced Llandough Farm (opposite hospital) is a different farmstead in the same Llandough locality and is not part of Great House Farm’s nomenclature. Unrelated Great House, Ty Mawr, Cydfin, Cefin or similarly named properties elsewhere in Wales are not merged merely because the name matches. ^🕒

Cross-reference — Cedwyn / Cydfin place-name evidence: References on this page to variants such as Cedwyn, Cydfin, Cedfin, Cydwin or Tŷ Mawr should be read alongside the GHF-E173 complete reference index and, where relevant, the Llandough (Penarth) pre-1877 manorial evidence page. Name similarity is a research lead, not proof of identical location, boundaries, ownership or title.
