This correspondence was falsely addressed to \"Mrs. Buckler\" to bind my grandmother to her deceased husband’s name and legal status, despite her public rejection of their claim. She used her maiden name Williams and her husband Bucklers' intent to accept license died with him. My nan also alledgedly didn't expressly deny the offer and so accepted through her silence. But she was near enough voiceless from screaming for decades that she will not do deals with any of them. That's a different kind of silence, if any.

However, I must inform you that much of the content in your correspondence falls outside the scope of Cadw’s work.\n\nIn relation to the claim of 'archaeological suppression' involving the discovery of a Roman soldier in full armour in 1888, any such find would typically have been reported in the antiquarian press at either the national or local level. It is possible that records of this nature may be held by local museums. It is worth noting that the first Ancient Monuments Act was passed in 1882, focusing solely on bringing threatened ancient monuments into guardianship. The legal recognition of nationally important archaeology did not come about until the Ancient Monuments Consolidation and Amendment Act of 1913.\n\nUpon reviewing the Cof Cymru database, I found that there are no designated historic assets relevant to this topic. However, Archwilio contains two records that document the involvement of the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust (GGAT):\n\n1. Great House Farm HER site entry - GGAT03586s\n2. Land at Great House Farm HER event entry - GGATE003872, which includes GGAT's 1990 archaeological assessment report commissioned by BP Properties Ltd.\n\nAny advice or correspondence that Cadw may have provided should be preserved in the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) National Monuments Record of Wales (NMRW). I recommend you contact the NMRW to access any relevant documents.

I have attached two photos, dated 29 July 1988. The \"YYY\" marking on the rear of the photo indicates that the buildings were considered marginally below the bar for listing. We hold no other electronic records.\n\nI note the SW Echo report suggesting that Cadw inspectors would visit again in December 1988, but I can find no record (as-yet) of this. The one paper file we have located, dated 2002, makes no mention of Great House Farm. I have asked a colleague to search for other related paper files, including the Welsh Office files, and I will write to you again when I have the result of the search. This may take a couple of weeks, and I must advise that is quite likely that at least some of these files will have been destroyed, but I will seek to disclose any records we recover to you.\n\nIn the meantime, would suggest contacting the following archives services, if you haven't already done so, as they may hold relevant records or be able to offer further assistance -\n\nGlamorgan Archives\nNational Library of Wales\nThe Royal Commission on the Ancient & Historical Monuments of Wales, including their Coflein catalogue of historic buildings.\n\nThese mapping services may also be of use to you:\nTithe Maps of Wales (1840s)\nHistoric Ordnance Survey Maps (1820s-1960s)\n\nThe following research guide may too also be of interest - Land ownership records and deeds: an overview - The National Archives.\n\nAnd finally for your records, you may wish to note this record about Great House Farm, held by the Royal Commission (Details | 20182 | Sites | Coflein), this Historic Environment Record (GGAT02038s yn esbonio sut rydym yn defnyddio eich gwybodaeth a sut rydym yn diogelu eich preifatrwydd.

For this reason, correspondence is not issued under individual names. The team is managed by Evelyn Morgan who is the Council's Data Protection Officer/Information Manager.\n\nWe appreciate the detailed correspondence you have provided to date and understand that this matter is of importance to you. We have received multiple items of correspondence from you, including earlier requests relating to the legal case of BP Properties Ltd v Buckler. Work had already been undertaken to review this request and we were in the process of preparing a response when your more recent correspondence was received. We were aiming to ensure that all appropriate lines of enquiry had been explored before providing a response.\n\nAt this stage, we would like to clarify that the Vale of Glamorgan Council does not hold records relating to this historic legal matter. Neither the Council nor its predecessor authorities, the Vale of Glamorgan Borough Council or the former South Glamorgan County Council were involved in the case of BP Properties Ltd v Buckler. From the information available, it appears this was a private legal matter between BP Properties Ltd and the Buckler family. We also recognise that your enquiries extend beyond the Council and have been shared with a number of organisations. Some of the information you are seeking is more likely to be held elsewhere and not with the Council. Some information that may have historically been retained by the Council may now be held by the Glamorgan Archives but only in relation to historical land ownership, tenancy records, or court administrative deposits. Some information may also be obtainable from the Land Registry, but we can see that they have been included in your correspondence.\n\nIn terms of information the Council may hold, this is most likely limited to planning related records. As previously advised, in order for our Planning colleagues to conduct accurate searches, they have requested a copy of the relevant site plan. Without this, there is a risk that any searches undertaken may not capture all relevant records.

A search which excludes Roman, nineteenth-century, burial and equine terminology risks missing the very records capable of establishing what was actually discovered beneath Great House Farm.\n\nGiven that your searches have already identified records concerning archaeological discoveries at Great House Farm itself, I would be grateful for a full reconsideration and disclosure of the recorded information requested above.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nSion Buckler (Ret'd Sergeant)\nRoyal Signals Cyber and Electronic Warfare Professional and Life Member", "answer": "Dear Mr Buckler\n\nThank you for your email requesting an internal review of our response to FOI 2026-024.\n\nInternal Review\nWe have accepted your request for an internal review of FOI 2026-024.\n\nThe purpose of an internal review is to consider whether Amgueddfa Cymru handled the original request appropriately, including whether:\n\n- the request was interpreted correctly;\n- reasonable and proportionate searches were undertaken;\n- relevant information held by the Museum was identified and considered; and\n- the response complied with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.\n\nThe internal review process is not ordinarily intended to redefine or broaden the scope of the original request, nor to conduct new searches solely on the basis of additional search terms or lines of enquiry proposed after the original response has been issued.\nNevertheless, the reviewer will consider the points raised in your correspondence when assessing whether the original request was interpreted appropriately and whether the searches undertaken were reasonable in the circumstances.\n\nWe aim to provide the outcome of the internal review within 20 working days of receipt of your request.

As Monitoring Officer, I do not have formal investigatory powers equivalent to those of the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales and I am not required to undertake an investigation or obtain representations from a member before deciding whether there is sufficient basis for a referral to be made. My role at this stage is to consider whether the information presented discloses evidence of conduct that appears capable of amounting to a breach of the Code.\nIn reaching my view, I considered the information provided within your complaint, including the chronology you supplied regarding correspondence sent to Councillor Carroll between February and July 2026. The substance of the complaint was that you had not received substantive responses to a number of emails sent over that period.\nFor completeness, I considered whether the conduct alleged could potentially engage any of the principal obligations contained within the Member's Code of Conduct. These include requirements that members show respect and consideration for others, do not engage in bullying, harassment or discriminatory behaviour, do not bring their office or authority into disrepute, do not improperly use their position to confer an advantage or disadvantage on any person, and do not misuse Council resources or confidential information.\nWhilst I appreciate that the absence of a response to correspondence may be frustrating, the information provided did not disclose evidence of disrespectful behaviour, bullying, harassment, misuse of position, misuse of Council resources, disclosure of confidential information, conduct bringing the office of member or the authority into disrepute, or any other behaviour which appeared capable of amounting to a breach of the Code. In reaching that view, I considered the nature of the conduct alleged, namely a failure to respond to correspondence, and whether that conduct engaged any provision of the Code.\nIt is important to note that the Member’s Code of Conduct does not impose a general obligation on elected members to respond to all correspondence received from members of the public, nor does it prescr", "kind": "reply", "pairing": "thread", "n_asks": 5, "refs": [], "years": [], "link_refs": [], "case_questions": [] }, { "party": "vale", "party_name": "Vale of Glamorgan Council", "thread": "vale-of-glamorgan-council-email-correspondence-catalogue-part-2#t1", "thread_title": "Complaint about Cllr George Carroll (Llandough) — Monitoring Officer determination", "asked": "2026-08-24", "asked_msg": "m-a80803ff86f7", "answered": "", "answer_msg": "", "ref": "", "url": "https://greathousefarmwiki.wordpress.com/records-access-chronology/foi-reply-register/vale-of-glamorgan-council-email-correspondence-catalogue-part-2/#t1", "id": "qa-04fb97f724c4", "question": "The Code cannot be reduced to an obligation to answer emails\n\nI accept the proposition that the Members' Code does not create a general\nrule requiring a councillor to answer every email received from a member of\nthe public within a prescribed period.\n\nThat is not the proposition I have advanced.\n\nThe question is whether a sustained course of conduct can engage provisions\nof the Code concerning respect and consideration, conduct capable of\nbringing the member's office or authority into disrepute, misuse of\nposition, and the broader principles governing the conduct of elected\nrepresentatives.\n\nThe Council's current Constitution places the Members' Code within Section\n19 and separately identifies the principles governing members' conduct.\n\nThe Public Services Ombudsman for Wales itself describes the Code as\nimposing enforceable minimum standards on councillors and identifies,\namongst other matters, conduct which negatively affects an authority's\nreputation, unfair use of position, bullying, and failures to treat people\nequally as matters which can potentially constitute breaches.\n\nI therefore ask you to identify precisely which provisions you considered\nand, more importantly, why the particular factual circumstances I supplied\nwere considered incapable of engaging any of them.\n\nA conclusion that \"failure to respond is not itself a breach\" does not\nanswer that question.\nThe actual chronology matters\n\nPlease record the chronology accurately.\n\nThis was not:\n\nfive emails were sent and a councillor did not reply.\n\nIt was:\n\n - I approached my elected ward councillor concerning matters affecting\n his ward;\n - Councillor Carroll responded and asked how he could help;\n - I then supplied substantive information and evidence;\n - further correspondence followed on 16 February, 4 May, 7 June, 25 June\n and 13 July 2026;\n - the correspondence concerned, amongst other things, the historical\n planning and development of Great House Farm / Church View Close, access to\n ", "answer": "", "kind": "unanswered", "pairing": "unanswered", "n_asks": 15, "refs": [], "years": [], "link_refs": [], "case_questions": [] }, { "id": "qa-e09997aae89b", "party": "vale", "party_name": "Vale of Glamorgan Council", "thread": "vale-of-glamorgan-council-email-correspondence-catalogue-part-2#t1", "thread_title": "Complaint about Cllr George Carroll (Llandough) — Monitoring Officer determination", "asked": "", "asked_msg": "", "question": "Reply received: RE: Complaint – Failure to Respond / Failure to Deal Properly with Case – Cllr George Carroll (Llandough) – Great House Farm / Church View Close", "answered": "2026-08-12", "answer_msg": "m-d5ed76c56d20", "answer": "Dear Mr Buckler,\nThank you for your email regarding Councillor George Carroll and for setting out the background to your concerns relating to Great House Farm (Ty Mawr), Llandough, now Church View Close.\nI acknowledge receipt of your correspondence and have carefully considered the matters you have raised.\nHaving reviewed your complaint, I do not consider that it falls within the scope of the Vale of Glamorgan Council's Corporate Concerns and Complaints Policy.

We do not hold any further records relating to the content or disposal of the historic records you have requested.\n\nTo confirm, colleagues in the records office have clarified the historic retention position to the best of their knowledge. Given that the issue relates to an historic record retention policy, and that no records regarding this are available, it is not possible to say exactly what CADW’s retention arrangements were over 38 years ago. However, based on their knowledge of the systems in place at the time, current colleagues have advised that it is likely that records of unsuccessful listings were only retained for a short period, usually about 3 years. This has since changed and current retention policy in relation to unsuccessful listings is to retain the files indefinitely, reviewed every 5 years.\n\nIn relation to your question ‘Did Cadw’s 1988 assessment of Great House Farm fully account for the independent professional evidence then available- particularly the H.J. Thomas RCAHMW survey of 1974- and if not why not?’. As stated, all of the records we hold have been released to you under the FOI and are now a public record. As the release consists of only two photographs we are unable to determine whether or not the 1974 survey was taken into account at the time.\n\nIn relation to question A, please see our previous emails of 2nd, 3rd, 10th and 29th July, together with the above explanation of the historic and current retention policies.\n\nIn relation to question B, content of the HER is managed by Heneb. Please contact www.heneb.org.uk in relation to adding information to the HER.\n\nIn relation to question C, please refer to the FOI response provided on the 11th June 2026 which is a matter of public record and confirms Cadw’s position.\n\nIn relation to question D, noted above.\n\nIn relation to question E, Cadw are unable to require or facilitate the installation of a heritage marker at the site.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nAndy Wigley\n\nDr Andy Wigley\nPrif Arolygydd – Pennaeth Arolygiaeth yr Amgylchedd Hanesyddol / Chief Inspector - Head of Historic Environment Inspectorate\nCadw\nDysgu, Cymunedau a Diwylliant / Learning, Commun", "kind": "partial", "pairing": "thread", "n_asks": 1, "refs": [ "ATISN 27021" ], "years": [ 1974, 1988 ], "link_refs": [ "ATISN 27021" ], "case_questions": [ "cq-listing", "cq-recording" ] }, { "party": "cadw", "party_name": "Cadw / Welsh Government", "thread": "welsh-government-and-cadw-email-correspondence-catalogue-part-2#t1", "thread_title": "Cadw — 'CADW failures' forensic review and Chief Inspector reply (August 2026)", "asked": "2026-08-27", "asked_msg": "m-26f5f7b5a0f3", "answered": "", "answer_msg": "", "ref": "", "url": "https://greathousefarmwiki.wordpress.com/records-access-chronology/foi-reply-register/welsh-government-and-cadw-email-correspondence-catalogue-part-2/#t1", "id": "qa-3d727fb18b17", "question": "What the surviving record establishes\n\nCould Cadw please confirm whether the following is an accurate description of the present evidential position:\n\n*Cadw's surviving records do not establish the evidential or administrative basis of the December 1988 decision not to list Great House Farm. In particular, the surviving records do not establish what evidence was considered by the inspector or decision-maker, whether the H.J. Thomas RCAHMW survey of 26 April 1974 was considered, whether the relevant SMR/GGAT archaeological material was considered, what inspection findings were recorded in December 1988, or whether any internal recommendation or consultation took place.*\n\nIf that is correct, I would be grateful if Cadw would confirm it expressly.\n\nI am not suggesting that the absence of records proves that those matters did not occur. Equally, however, the absence of records means that Cadw cannot now establish that they did occur.\n\nThat is the central evidential limitation created by the loss of the 1988 working papers.\nThe 1974 H.J. Thomas RCAHMW survey\n\nYour response says:\n\n\"we are unable to determine whether or not the 1974 survey was taken into account at the time.\"\n\nThat is a particularly important clarification.\n\nThe RCAHMW survey was not a document subsequently created in response to the dispute. It was a professional survey undertaken on 26 April 1974 and recorded architectural features including the late-17th-century construction, Type A sub-medieval cross-passage plan, substantial timber framing and the barrel-vaulted cellar.\n\nI therefore ask Cadw to confirm simply:\n\n*Cadw cannot now establish from its surviving records whether the inspector or decision-maker responsible for the December 1988 assessment had considered the H.J.

Please accept our apologies for the delay in responding; we have recently been receiving a large number of enquiries.\n\nIn response to your questions below:\n\n 1. Daniel Thomas 1877 deed: we do not appear to hold any deeds relating to this transaction. A search of our catalogue has been carried out and we cannot suggest any documents that would be worth searching to find record of the transaction you are seeking information on that are within our collections. There are some records in the Cardiff Library Bute collection that may be relevant though, see point 3 below.\n 2. D696 Western Ground Rents: please see our catalogue for descriptions of the three volumes included in this collection: D696/1, D696/2, D696/3. As mentioned previously, a member of our team could search these records on your behalf at a charge, or they can be accessed for free in our public searchroom. Only once the records have been searched would we be able to confirm whether any information is held within them in relation to land in Llandough and Ty Mawr / Great House Farm.\n 3. Cardiff Library Bute Estate records: one possible record that could be worth searching in this collection is document reference Bute X.6(12) which contains abstracts of payments and receipts by the trustees of the Marquis of Bute's properties, 1877 (copy). Other similar records in Bute X might also be of interest (see attached catalogue). These records are currently still with Cardiff Library so you should contact them about access in the short-term.\n 4. Land Valuation 1910 maps at National Archives: please the National Archives’ research guide on the land valuation records for guidance on how to find the maps: Land use, value and ownership: Valuation Office Survey 1910-1915 - The National Archives. When enquiring with the National Archives, ensure you are asking specifically about the 1910 land valuation survey maps.

HMLR gave its final decision on 25 May 2026, but did not list what the first-registration files actually contain until 30 July 2026. A final complaint decision cannot properly rest on documents that had not yet been identified.\nThe decision relies on a document that does not appear on the file. HMLR's letter of 19 April 2026 described a 15-year root of title. The root relied on, a conveyance of 31 December 1969, was under 13 years old at first registration in 1982. Neither that conveyance nor the 1971 abstract said to prove it appears on the 30 July 2026 file list, and HMLR has not explained this.\nThe file holds examination material (form D23 and a letter of 8 April\n1983) and two 1994 applications \"to correct the title\". HMLR has not explained any of them.\nMy written questions, including through my MP Stephen Doughty, have been redirected to a property search service instead of being answered.\n\nThe outcome I seek is a numbered written answer to these points, confirmation that all first-registration, amalgamation and correction records for both titles are being preserved, and acknowledgement of any failure in how the complaint was handled.\n\nI am separately taking advice on whether to apply to alter the register.
