Cowbridge (Welsh: Y Bont-faen) is a market town in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales. It is one of very few medieval walled towns in Wales, and substantial portions of the walls, together with the south gate, are still standing. The town charter was awarded in 1254 by Richard de Clare. The largely medieval church of the Holy Cross was initially a chapel of ease to the parish church at Llanblethian. Cowbridge Museum is located in the town hall, a building dating back perhaps as far as the Elizabethan era, which served as a prison until 1830, when it was converted to replace the former guild hall, demolished at that date. The main street contains a number of Georgian houses, including the former town houses of important local families such as the Edmondes and Carnes.
