      SIR GEORGE MATHEW M. P. HIGH SHERIFF OF GLAMORGAN, 1544. DIED 10 NOVEMBER 1557. MARRIED 1ST. MARY ANNE HERBERT, DAUGHTER OF SIR WILLIAM HERBERT OF COLEBROOK...SIR GEORGE WAS KNIGHTED IN 1553. HE REVIVED THE PRIVILEGES OF THE MARCHER LORDSHIP HELD BY HIS ANCESTORS, AND OBTAINED CONFIRMATION OF THEM FROM THE BISHOP OF LLANDAFF. SIR GEORGE WAS CUSTODIAN OF THE RELIC OF ST. TEILO. HE MARRIED 2ND BARBARA DAUGHTER AND HEIR OF SIR ROBERT BRET OF COSSINGTON. THE CHIEF DIFFERENCE IN THE FOREGOING ACCOUNT AND OTHERS IS THAT HIS FIRST WIFE IS ALSO MENTIONED AS MARGARET, DAU. OF SIR WILLIAM HERBERT OF COLEBROOK.
      1153: Bishop Kitchin granted Llandaff Manor to Sir George Mathew of Radyr, knight, his heirs and assigns. This greatly impoverished to See, and even comprised the Bishop's Cstle, which seems to have been dismantled shortly afterwards.
      Near the castle stands the ancient mansion of the family of Mathew of Llandaff. It was formerly called Bryn-y-gynen, but now Llandaff Court, and is supposed to have been built by David Mathew ap Ieuan Gruffydd Gethin (Rick Merrick). It was rebuilt in the 18th century and is now the palace of the Bishop of Llandaff.
