Hiring – Old School

The Old School is owned by the Llantwit Major Town Council.

History of the Old School
The house was built in the 1450’s by John Raglan (Herbert) and was later occupied by Robert Raglan. The Raglans controlled many local offices as stewards and chantry priests. In the 17th century it became a vicarage for Stephen Slugg the notorious ‘Trimmer’ of the civil war period. It became a board school providing elementary education from 1874-1975.

The Old School is now open to all members of the community. It is a Grade II Listed Building set in the old part of the town with a good car park. The full address of the property is:
