"ANDREW'S (ST.) MINOR, a parish in the hundred of OGMORE, county of GLAMORGAN, SOUTH WALES, 4 1/2 miles (S. W.) from Cowbridge, containing 16 inhabitants. This parish derives its name from the dedication of its chapel to St. Andrew, and is distinguished by the adjunct Minor from the parish of St. Andrew, in the hundred of Dinas-Powis, in the same county. It is pleasantly situated in the great vale of Glamorgan, in the south-eastern portion of the county, and near the northern shore of the Bristol channel, distant only a few miles from the coast. It is of small extent, comprising only one estate, called Clementston, which is co-extensive with the parish, and is the property of T. Franklin, Esq. Clementston House, which has recently received considerable additions and improvements, and has undergone a course of thorough repair, for the residence of its proprietor, is a handsome, well-built mansion, pleasantly situated in grounds tastefully disposed. The living is a sinecure rectory, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Llandaf, and in the patronage of T. Franklin, Esq., of Clementston, who, as proprietor of that estate, pays to the minister a modus of £ 5. The church, which appears to have been originally built for the accommodation of the family and household at Clementston, is now in ruins."
