History around the area - North CornellyHistory around the Area
North Cornelly
Originally a sub manor of the Kenfig Borough which lay outside the boundaries of the Borough itself, its
earliest holders were the Lupellus family who later adopted the name Lovel.
The earliest recorded name of the village from a document that dates from before 1183 is the rather
cumbersome 'The Vill of Walter Lupellus'. The name Cornelly arose probably due to its close proximity to the
crossroads (Cornelly Cross) where the road to the original village of Cornelly (Present
South Cornelly) branched off from the main road.
The village adjoining the Cornelly junction therefore became known by that name and 'North' and 'South'
were added to distinguish between the two.

Political meeting place in North Cornelly.
