Dimlands
Dimlands (also known as Dimland Castle or Dimland Lodge) is a small scale, gentry house on the north side of St Donats Road about southwest of Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan, southeast Wales. Built like a small Tudor castle, it is situated about back from the clifftops of the Bristol Channel between Llantwit Major and St Donats. It became a Grade II listed building on 9 October 1982.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lodge to Dimlands, Llantwit Major )〕
==History==
The site was previously occupied by the fortress of Iestyn ap Gwrgant, lord of Glamorgan and the last ruler of the Welsh kingdom of Morgannwg; its fields are still known as ''Caer Wrgan'' ("Wrganstown"). The property was held by the Nicholl family since the time of King Henry VII. Dimlands was built by Rev. Robert Nicholl Carne at the end of the 18th century upon land left him by his father, Whitlock Nicholl, of The Ham, High Sheriff of Glamorgan in 1746. Upon Robert's death in 1849, his younger son, John Whitlock Nicholl Carne of the University of Oxford, inherited Dimlands, and the 1850 improvements are attributed to him
Dimlands was leased to the architect Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt (1820–1877) in 1875, he being the husband of Mary Nicholl of The Ham, a great niece of Robert. Wyatt died at Dimlands two years later. It is possible that John involved Wyatt (designer of The Ham mansion) in the Dimlands' 1850 renovation. In the early 20th century, from 1900 to 1921, the Crawshays were Dimlands' tenants; Tudor Crawshay was Deputy Lieutenant of Glamorgan, and vicar’s warden of St Illtyd's Church, Llantwit Major.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NAMES ASSOCIATED WITH LLANTWIT MAJOR )〕 Tudor Crawshay's son Owen was a tenant of the nearby Tresilian House at Tresilian Bay.
