A census enumerator’s address label (the 1881 “survey” is the census). The page does not say “Great House Farm”; the identity is the family’s, supported by the directories. No other source uses “Home Farm” for Llandough.

The developer’s drawings use “Llandough Farm” for the site (identified with medium confidence). So in developer and planning records after 1989, “Llandough Farm” may mean this site, not the separate Rees-family farm.

Not the same thing
- Llandough Farm — A separate farmstead (the Rees family; “Llandough Farm (opposite hospital)”; NLW D219/9–13, 166 acres; OS 57). Not a name for Great House Farm (EV-0228). Caution: the developer’s 1994 drawings use “Llandough Farm” for the Great House Farm site (EV-0133), so a post-1989 planning or developer record using it must be read before it is excluded. Source
- Llandough near Cowbridge / Llandough Castle — A different Llandough in the Vale of Glamorgan. Source
