It stands in the parish of Llanedern on the river Rumney. James Morgan, fifth son of sir Thomas Morgan of Pencoed, settled here in the sixteenth century. His descendants in the male line became extinct but his great-granddaughter Catherine took it to her husband John ap Thomas ap Morgan ap sir Thomas Gamage of Coity. This branch of Gamage adopted the surname of Morgan, of whom the most distinguished was David Morgan called 'The Welsh Jacobite'. A barrister at law he practised in the courts at Westminster but "not having talents to make a shining figure at the bar he retired into the country after his father's death and lived chiefly upon his estate. He bore, it seems, a very ill character among his neighbours being of a haughty turbulent disposition"7 He joined the army of the Pretender in November 1745 at Preston, marched with them to Manchester but declining to go with the retreating force to Scotland he got as far as Stone in Staffordshire where he was apprehended and taken to Newgate where he was confined. He was tried on the 15 July 1746 by lord chief justice William Lee, was found guilty and executed 30 July 1746. He is described as "of a very mean look" and possessed an estate in St Leonard's Shoreditch "but he let it all run to ruin because he would not pay the ground rent".8 During his imprisonment his wife used to visit him but who she was does not appear.
