About this map

This is the story of the true owners of Church View Close, Llandough, and why people incorrectly think it's Cardiff Forest, BP and Llandough Council.

This map follows the title-chain map on the Legal Wiki home page, one step per dated station, in the same order (34 stations, c.1841 to 2026), with the home page’s own wording and labels: VERIFIED, TESTIMONY, SOURCE PENDING, UNVERIFIED.

Three attempts to make Mary’s occupancy look permissive were rejected. Each was followed by a registration of part of Parcel A in another name. And the Williams title to Parcel A was never extinguished: the line runs on.

Colours. Each parcel is coloured by the holder on the home page’s line for it at that station. The dotted white line is the whole of Parcel A from the 1877 split. The woodland (pink) and the green (yellow, the lower third of Parcel A) are drawn as parts carved from Parcel A; a dotted edge means the area is not proved by plan. Tap any parcel for details.

Lines. Solid outlines are traced from a source (an OS sheet or the 1939 tenancy plan), by eye. Hatched outlines are reconstructions or estimates. They are not recorded boundaries.

Old maps. Ordnance Survey six-inch (1878–79) and 25-inch (1900, 1920, 1947) sheets, images from the National Library of Scotland, reproduced under CC-BY (“Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of Scotland”). The 1920 and 1947 sheets were fitted to the 1900 sheet by matching the engraving (accuracy a few metres). Aerial: Esri World Imagery. Narration: a synthetic British voice; if audio is blocked your browser's own voice reads the caption.
