Barry, Vale of Glamorgan
Barry is a town and community in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales. It is located along the northern coast of the Bristol Channel less than 7 miles south-southwest of Cardiff,the capital city of Wales. Barry is a seaside resort, with attractions including several beaches and formerly Barry Island Pleasure Park. Once a small village, Barry has absorbed its larger neighbouring villages of Cadoxton and Barry Island. It grew significantly from the 1880s with the development of Barry Docks, which in 1913 was the largest coal port in the world.
The place was possibly named after Saint Baruc. However another explanation is that it comes from the Welsh bar meaning a hill or rise. Therefore the Welsh name, Y Barri, means 'The Hills. Given Barry's geography, it is an apt description. The first reference to it being named after St Baruc is from Giraldus Cambriensis. Gerald was himself from Barry and describes the area thus:

St Quentins Castle south Wales
You have probably never heard of Llantrithyd Place.
Today it lies derelict and ruined in fields a few miles south of the A48 between Cardiff and Cowbridge.
Not a very promising candidate for this series on important buildings and places in Welsh history. In its very obscurity, however, lies the story of what was once Wales’s most powerful ruling class: the gentry.
Glimpses of its former glories can be seen in the extensive ivy-clad ruins, but enter the small church only yards away from the broken walls and you are confronted with striking evidence for the faded significance of Llantrithyd Place and its residents.
Around 1102 Robert Fitzhamon, the first Norman Lord of Glamorgan bequeathed the lands of Llanblethian as a lordship to Herbert de St Quentin who is thought to have built the first fortification at the site of the castle. This initial construct was believed to have been a simple ringwork defence with timber walls, a bank and ditch. A rectangular stone keep was built in the late 12th century, whose remains can now be found within the later gatehouse. This keep may have replaced a similar wooden structure.
