Miskin Manor has a long and fascinating history dating back to the 10th century when Wales was divided into cwmwds (sections), one of these cwmwds was Miscin. It is believed that the place name evolved from ‘Maes Cun' meaning lovely plain. Around 1100, Nest, a daughter of the prince of Glamorgan, lived at Miskin with her husband and occupied the Lordship and Manor of that name.
