MANOR OF PLASTURTON
Plasturton was a farmhouse demolished 1895. It stood on the site
of an ancient house near the Cowbridge Road and the Taff west bank, on the
west side of the present Cathedral Road. "The Manor or Lordship of
Placestourton, otherwise Glasspoole," was held by Bawdrip in the 17th
century. It was in 1753 the subject of a Chancery suit in the family of
Mathew of Llandaff. (Chanc. Proc. 1714-58. Winter, No 592.) It is, however,
doubtful whether Plasturton was actually a manor.
