Do not click links or open attachments unless it is an email you expected to receive. You don't often get email from [email redacted]<[email redacted]>. Learn why this is important Dear Freedom of Information Team, I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and, where applicable, the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. A published local history account states that, during works to replace the stone floor of the dining room at Great House Farm (also known as Ty Mawr), Llandough, Cardiff, the remains of a soldier and his horse were discovered beneath the floor. The remains were subsequently re-buried in the churchyard, and the soldier's visor and lance were given to the National Museum of Wales (Amgueddfa Cymru). I therefore request the following recorded information held by Amgueddfa Cymru: Any records relating to the acquisition, accession, donation, transfer or deposit of a medieval visor, lance, helmet, or other items of armour associated with Great House Farm / Ty Mawr / Llandough. The accession number(s), date of acquisition or transfer, name of the donor or transferring body, and any provenance or discovery notes linked to these objects. Any catalogue entries, object records, or internal correspondence concerning the above items. Any records of associated human or animal remains from the same discovery, including notes on reburial. Any related excavation, watching-brief, or discovery reports held by the Museum. If any of the requested information is already publicly available (for example via the Museum's online collections database), I would be grateful if you could simply provide the relevant accession numbers or catalogue links. Please treat this as a request for recorded information only. I am not seeking advice or opinion. I look forward to your response within the statutory timescale. Yours faithfully, Sion Buckler (Ret'd Sergeant) [cid:image003.jpg@01DD1DE0.B74E6170]
