Scope and content
An account book containing entries covering the period 1704-1755 referring, inter alia, to the setting of demesne and other lands in Efenechtid [co. Denbigh], to the setting of the [rectorial] tithes of the parish of Derwen [co. Denbigh], and to rents (including rents for tithes set) and tithe received in the latter parish. It is probably partly in the hand of the Reverend John Conway, rector of Derwen, circa 1718-1744. Some post-1744 entries refer to sums of money due to the Reverend William Conway and sums received as due 'to my late uncle John Conway'. These may have been added by the Reverend William Conway, son of Benjamin Conway, vicar of Northop (1717-1748) and warden of Ruthin (?1713-1748), and nephew of the aforementioned John Conway of Derwen. A loose leaf bearing copies of the coat of arms of the said Ben[jamin] Conway has been inserted at the end of the volume.
