Do you know your history?
Local man Alan Cook has been in touch with the website about a project he is working on. Allan says "
I am currently updating the volume on the history of the parish of
Radyr - to be published in 2011 or 2012. In your web site you say that
Radyr Court was built in the 15th century. Have you any more
information to confirm this? My problem is that Thomas Mathew, the
founder of the Radyr branch of the Mathew family - married one of the
two heiresses of Radyr Uchaf - near the present Radyr Comp. Her sister
married into one of the families of the vale. My question is whether
Thomas continued to live at Radyr Uchaf or whether he moved to Radyr
Isaf (Radyr Court). If he moved does that mean that a house already
existed at the site on which later Mathews enlarged. I'd be grateful if
you have any information or this subject, or if anyone from the area is
interested in working on the subject."
If anyone can help Allan then please
get in touch and I will pass your details on
