More about this scene
It is thought that the Bishops of Llandaff were resident in Mathern as early as the 14th century; they eventually left in 1763. As part of its chequered history, the palace was seized during the Civil War, but returned at the Restoration in 1660. While the palace had suffered neglect at the hands of the bishops, after their departure its condition deteriorated further. This photograph possibly shows the palace at its lowest ebb.
