South Cornelly  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to:
navigation, search  South Cornelly is a village in Cornelly,
Bridgend county borough, Wales. The village is close to North
Cornelly, Pyle and Porthcawl, and junction 37 of the M4
motorway, which runs along its northern side.  The village is
accessible from the motorway, the A4229 and the A48. There are
regular buses to Porthcawl, Bridgend and Port Talbot. The
nearest railway station is Pyle.  South Cornelly came into being
as an Anglo-Norman settlement in the second half of the 12th
century. The village is named after St Cornelius, and is the
'original' Cornelly, though a document of the time indicates
that it was almost known as 'Thomastown' after Thomas son of
William, an early local Lord of the Manor. His descendants
subsequently adopted the name 'De Cornelly' and their house is
believed to have been located at the site of the mansion called
Ty Maen on the main road through the village.[1]   Coordinates:
