==== Great House==== [[File:The Great House, Llantwit Major - geograph.org.uk - 293920.jpg|thumb|right|The Great House]] The Great House ({{Coord|51.412361|-3.488173|type:landmark}}), located along the road to Cowbridge, on the northern outskirts originally dated from the 14th century when it consisted of just a square central section, but significant additions have made it an excellent example of a Tudor "Ty mawr" (Great House). A northern wing with a stable and dovecot were amongst the added parts.<ref name="LMLHS-Buildings">{{cite web|url=http://www.llantwitmajorhistory.org.uk/buildings.html|title=Buildings|publisher=Llantwit Major Local History Society|access-date=29 July 2012|year=2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120531230655/http://www.llantwitmajorhistory.org.uk/buildings.html|archive-date=31 May 2012}}</ref> The house was occupied by the Nicholl family for centuries but by the 1920s it had been abandoned and fell into a heavily dilapidated state.<ref name="Coflein GH">{{cite web|url=http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/18850/details/GREAT+HOUSE%3BTY+MAWR%2C+HIGH+STREET%2C+LLANTWIT+MAJOR/|title=Great House; Ty Mawr, High Street, Llantwit Major|work=Coflein|publisher=Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales|date=12 December 2005|access-date=29 July 2012}}</ref> The building was bought and restored to its former glory in the 1950s.<ref name="LMLHS-Buildings"/>
