}}Frampton is a hamlet in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales. It lies within the parish of Llantwit Major, to the north of the town off the B4265 road, {{convert|4.25|mi}} south-southwest of Cowbridge. It is divided into Little Frampton and Great Frampton.[1]

History

The settlement's name is believed to be named after Adam De Francton, an English knight who killed Llewelyn, the last Prince of Wales.[2] The hamlet became known for its Frampton Herd of Pedigree Aberdeen Angus.[3]

Great Frampton

The hamlet contains the ruins of Great Frampton, a Grade II listed country house which is located about {{convert|1300|m}} northwest of the Church of St. Illtyd. The house was built around 1600, with a front added in the late 18th century.[4] An inventory of the house was made in 1636 upon the death of Mary Jones, a widow who owned the property at the time.[5] In the 1770s, the astronomer Nathaniel Pigott stayed at Frampton and built an observatory.[2]

The house is of three storeys, with a front elevation containing five bays.[4] It was badly damaged in a fire in 1994.[6] It gutted the main block, but the rear wing, dated to the 17th century and altered in the mid 20th century, still remains, though in a derelict state.[4]
