Ffeil NLW MS 467E/1871. - Brief re. Llanrwst rectory,

The brief how the profits of the rectory of Llanrwst were disposed of since the decease of Dr Morgan Wynne, late incumbent there. 1644 Dr Morgan Wynne died about Michaelmas 1644, and before his death demised the rectory to Sir Richard Wynn. The bishop of St Asaph takes the said rectory into his commendam upon his decease. 1645. This bishop questions the lease and disturbs Owen Wynn in the possession thereof as agent to his brother Sir Richard. The business was referred to the archbishop of York and John, bishop of Chester, who judged the lease good. The bishop was ordered to write a note to the parishioners stating that Owen Wynn was to continue farmer. (Produce the bishop's note to this effect, under his own hand and written by himself, dated 14 August 1645). The rent was paid to the bishop. 1646. In May 1646, the warrant under the committees' hand was issued to all farmers of livings (sine cura) under the bishop, when the same sequestered. In July following, Owen Wynn was admitted by the committees to be the farmer, paying the rent to the use of Parliament. 1647. Has not got the acquittances to produce now. Until he can give better satisfaction of the payment thereof, he must refer himself to their Receiver's Book and to the relation of Mr Edward Davyes, the sequestrator. 1648. Produce Mr Edward Davyes's acquittance for the same. Notwithstanding true payment made as aforesaid upon this sequestration, the bishop calls on Owen Wynn to pay him his rent as though it were not sequestered.
