System of arrangement
Arranged into four series in alphabetical order of parish: Alberbury-Llansilin; Oswestry; St Martin 's and Selatyn; West Felton-Whittington and miscellaneous parishes. The very large numbers of deeds relating to Oswestry and Selatyn have necessitated the creation of several series to accommodate all the parishes.

Note
The provenance of all the Brogyntyn title deeds cannot be stated with certainty. It is likely that, despite attempts at rational classification, the group contains undetected stray documents deriving from the Shropshire portion of Abertanat, and deeds from the purchased estates of Oerley Hall, Pentre-pant and Drenewydd.
