Bonvilston (Welsh: Tresimwn) is a village in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The village is situated on the A48 about four miles east of Cowbridge and near the Welsh capital city of Cardiff.
[edit] History & Amenities
It is named after Simon de Bonville, a Norman nobleman, hence the name of the village, though different in English and the Welsh language it refers to the same person. St Mary's parish church, rebuilt in the Victorian era style retains a late mediaeval Sanctus bell.
The village has three pubs, The Red Lion, The Old Post and The Aubrey Arms. There is a corner shop called the old village shop.
