What is recorded here

Wenvoe Castle Kitchen Garden, Cardiff served a castle through the 18th Century and 19th Century, growing food for the people who lived there. The Vale of Glamorgan still holds the shape of that domestic purpose, even if the castle itself has faded from memory. A kitchen garden is not a decorative mystery; it is a record of hunger, labour and sustenance.
