About Me

Welcome to Hidden Glamorgan - if you are interested in the history of the Vale of Glamorgan, you've come to the right place! This website, established in 2010 is run by Mark and Jonathan Lambert who are writers based in the Vale of Glamorgan. Both writers are archaeology graduates of Cardiff University. Mark and Jonathan Lambert were the first to bring the history of the Vale of Glamorgan online within an accessible resource with Hidden Glamorgan having a focus on the lesser - known history of the Vale of Glamorgan.

Mark and Jonathan lambert have written a number of books as well as having numerous articles published. We are also pleased to have contributed our work and research to the history section of the new website for Barry (Barry-Cymru) commissioned by the Vale of Glamorgan Council.

Both writers have been involved with numerous archaeological excavations within the Vale of Glamorgan and beyond and have directed their own excavations. 

Mark and Jonathan Lambert have been involved with protecting local heritage, championing the preservation of our standing historical architecture – both writers led a two-man campaign to protect one of Penarth’s oldest standing buildings at Lower Cosmeston Farm and, thanks to their success achieved listed building status for the heritage at risk there.    

The motivation behind Hidden Glamorgan has always been a genuine interest in history and a love of our shared past with our content being well researched and original.  

If you have any questions, quires, or have simply enjoyed what you have read in our quiet corner of the internet then please feel free to leave a comment-we love feedback.
