LLANDAFF , a See also:city of See also:Glamorganshire, See also:Wales, on the Taff Vale railway, 149 M. from See also:London. Pop. (1901) 5777. It is almost entirely within the See also:parliamentary See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf. Ger. Burg, Fr. bor, bore, bourg)
- BOROUGH [BURROUGH, BURROWE, BORROWS], STEVEN (1525–1584)
borough of See also:Cardiff. It is nobly situated on the heights which slope towards the See also:southern See also:bank of the Taff. Formerly the see of Llandaff was looked upon as the See also:oldest in the See also:kingdom; but its origin is obscure, although the first two bishops, St Dubricius and St Teilo, certainly flourished during the latter See also:half of the 6th See also:century. By the 12th century, when See also:Urban was See also:bishop, the see had acquired See also:great See also:wealth (as may be seen from the See also:Book of Llandaff, a collection of its records and See also:land-grants compiled probably by See also:Geoffrey of See also:Monmouth), but after the reign of See also:- HENRY

Henry VIII. Llandaff, largely through the alienations of its bishops and the depredations of the canons, became impoverished, and its See also:cathedral was See also:left for more than a century to decay. In the 18th century a new See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church, in debased See also:Italian See also:style, was planted amid the ruins. This was demolished and replaced (1844–1869) by the See also:present restored cathedral, due chiefly to the See also:energy of See also:Dean See also:Williams. The oldest remaining portion is the See also:chancel See also:arch, belonging to the See also:Norman cathedral built by Bishop Urban and opened in 112o. See also:Jasper Tudor, See also:uncle of Henry VII., was the architect of the See also:north-See also:west See also:tower, portions of which remain. The cathedral is also the See also:parish church. The See also:palace or See also:castle built by Urban was destroyed, according to tradition, by See also:Owen See also:Glendower in 1404, and only a gateway with flanking towers and some fragments of See also:wall remain. After this, Mathern near See also:Chepstow became the episcopal See also:residence until about 169o, when it See also:fell into decay, leaving the See also:diocese without a residence until Llandaff See also:Court was acquired during Bishop 011ivant's See also:tenure of the see 1849–1882). For over 120 years the bishops had been non-See also:resident. The See also:ancient See also:- STONE

There is an See also:Anglican theological See also:college, removed to Llandaff from See also:Aberdare in 19o7. The city is almost joined to Cardiff, owing to the expansion of that See also:town.
Llandaff Court, already mentioned, was the ancient See also:mansion of the See also:Mathew See also:family, from which Henry See also:Matthews, 1st See also:Viscount Llandaff (b. 1826), was descended. Another See also:branch of this family formerly held the earldom of Llandaff in the Irish See also:peerage. Henry Matthews, a See also:barrister and Conservative M.P., whose See also:father was a See also:judge in See also:Ceylon, was See also:home secretary 1886–1892, and was created viscount in 1895.
