Castle Farm, St Georges-Super-Ely

Farmhouse; Fortified House

What is recorded here

Castle Farm, St Georges-Super-Ely is a fortified farmhouse from the Medieval period, meaning it was built to defend people and property as much as to grow food. In the Vale of Glamorgan, that mixture of kitchen and castle suggests a household where daily life never fully released its guard. The farm may have smelled of bread, straw and wood smoke while its walls still answered the danger of raiding, dispute or border instability. Strength and ordinary sustenance shared one roof, and that is still written into the place.
