About Fencing in Cowbridge
Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan was founded in 1254 by Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, at a bridge crossing over the River Thaw on a route that dated back to Roman times, and he granted the town its charter the same year. The central part of the town was walled during the 13th and early 14th centuries to protect the merchant plots along the High Street and to help collect tolls from the twice weekly market, and its south gate, though only surviving to a height of just over six metres, remains the only town gate to survive from the medieval period anywhere in Glamorgan. Cowbridge thrived as the market and administrative centre for the Vale of Glamorgan throughout the medieval and early modern periods, and its distinctive plan of burgage plots set at right angles to the High Street can still be traced in the town today.
