A blue plaque Link on the building records that this was a Norman manorial courthouse for the holding of courts leet (tenants) and baron (freeholders) for the manor of Boverton and Llantwit Major. It was rebuilt under the lordship of Jasper Tudor (1485-95); became a guildhall in the time of Henry VIII, then the bailiff's house. It was then leased in part to the St. Illtyd's lodge of the Oddfellows Society in 1845 and taken over by the first parish council in 1894.
