Wrinstone, Medieval architectural structure in Vale of Glamorgan, Wales
Wrinstone House replaced a gamekeeper's cottage in 1880 and features turreted wings that were added during renovations in the 1980s.
The manor changed ownership from Walter of Gloucester to Walter de Reigny in 1262, followed by six generations of the de Raleigh family.
The settlement evolved from a medieval hamlet with 20 tenements in 1685 to a smaller community of five houses by 1839.
The structure stands near Wrinstone Brook, which connects to local waterways flowing toward Barry Docks, providing essential drainage for surrounding lands.
Historical records from the 1760s document nine houses, five farms, and four cottages arranged around a central green space.
