The Sir Samuel Romilly, Barry

Wetherspoon pub on the corner of Broad Street and Market Street. The pub opened in March 2009. Sir Samuel Romilly (1757-1818) was a British legal reformer. He doesn't appear to have had any direct connection with Barry, which was only a hamlet with fewer than 100 inhabitants during his lifetime. However, the land-owning Romilly family was closely involved with the development of Barry in the second half of the 19th century. Sir Samuel's son John was raised to the peerage as Baron Romilly of Barry in 1866.
