Peterston-super-Ely - From 'A Topographical Dictionary of Wales' (1849)
PETERSTON-super-ELY, a parish, in the union of Cardiff, hundred of Dinas-Powys, county of Glamorgan, South Wales, 7 miles (W.) from Cardiff; containing 223 inhabitants. This parish derives its name from the dedication of its church to St. Peter, and its distinguishing adjunct from its situation on the bank of the river Ely. It lies in the south-eastern part of the county, and comprises a moderate portion of arable and pasture land, in a good state of cultivation. Limestone is found in most parts of the parish, and the procuring of it affords employment to a portion of the inhabitants. The living is a rectory, rated in the king's books at £7. 12. 8½.; present net income, £228; patrons, Sir T. D. Aubrey and Col. Wood. The church, dedicated to St. Peter, is not distinguished by any architectural details. A day and Sunday school is held, in connexion with the Established Church. Here are the remains of an ancient castle, which has been long in ruins; nothing satisfactory is known of its original foundation.
