Sully, Vale of Glamorgan history
Medieval Sully
The village could be named as an abbreviation of “south lea” meaning “southern pasture” Baron Reginald de Sully was awarded the Manor of Sully in 1093 by the conqueror of Glamorgan Sir Robert Fitzhamon. De Sully also had extensive estates in Devon but he is recorded as having built a small fortified castle in Sully, the remains of which have mostly vanished.
Changes in the Manor
The Manor of Sully is recorded as being sold in its entirety to Sir Thomas Stradling in 1538. It stayed in his family until 1811 although the family had changed their name to Drake by then. The eight circular rickstands at Cog Farm are approximately 3 metres high, stone built and lipped at the top.
Village Growth
In the 19th century Sully was almost entirely agricultural in nature and the population fluctuated between only 150 to 200 individuals. By 1920 this had still only increased to 550 despite the explosive growths of nearby Penarth and Barry. Sully is now mainly a middle income dormitory suburb of Cardiff with a still expanding population of just over 5,000.
SS Pilton
SS Pilton ran aground during gale force winds in December 1924. She was aground for three months, providing a steady source of income for Sully caterers.
