Castell-y-Dryw; Wren's Castle

Cottage

What is recorded here

Wren's Castle is a Post Medieval cottage in the Vale of Glamorgan, recorded in the national monument list. It may have sheltered traders, farmers or travellers moving through the valley, though no surviving account names them. The strange name suggests a local legend or personal identity that has faded from memory. The cottage still belongs to the region's lived history even when its rooms are empty.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castell-y-Dryw; Wren's Castle as Cottage from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
