Wrinstone
Wrinstone or Wrinston is a medieval hamlet, just east of Wenvoe, Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales. The Wrinstone estate was variously also known as Wrenston, Wrencheston or Wrenchester.
==History==
A manor was held here from the early Norman period,〔 and at various points the lords of Wrinstone Manor were in control of the nearby Cwrt-yr-Ala estate and property. Walter of Gloucester was known to have held Wrinstone in the mid 13th century, but by 1262 it was held by Walter de Reigny, who also held the nearby manor of Michaelston-le-Pit.〔 It was then ceded to his son Milo de Reigny. Milo's daughter, Ela (or Joan) (b. 1235), became the heiress of Wrenchester (Wrinstone)) Castle, Michaelston-le-Pit, Llantwit, and Llancarvan. Through her marriage to Simon de Raleigh, of Nettlecombe, Somerset, the Wrinstone manor passed to the de Raleighs, their descendants holding the manor for six generations. Their son, also named Simon, became High Sheriff of Glamorgan in 1299, until 1304.〔 Thomas Whellesborough, heir of a Simon de Raleigh, was lord of the manor until his death in 1482.〔
Around 1480, there were eight free tenements. Of the twelve customary tenements, one was a freeholding owned by a William Yeston of ''Le Grave'' (later Greave Farm) which was in size. The other customary tenements ranged in size between ; there were also three cottagers. The manor eventually fell to the Trevelyans who sold their Welsh estates off in 1650 to pay off debts for supporting Charles I.〔 The manor briefly fell into possession of Colonel Thomas Horton's Brigade for victory at the Battle of St Fagans in 1648, who then sold it to Colonel Philip Jones of the Fonmon Estate.〔 From this date until the end of the 18th century it was under the Jones's of Fonmon and the Thomases of Wenvoe. It became a township of Wenvoe after the medieval period.
In 1685 the hamlet had 20 tenements.〔 Estate plans dated to the 1760s reveal 9 houses; 5 farms and 4 cottages, grouped around a green.〔 By 1839 it had been reduced to 5 houses.〔
