Title deeds relating to farms and lands purchased by Charles Watkin Williams Wynn, situated mainly in the parish of Meifod, Montgomeryshire, 1582-1837. The properties include the Rhosfawr and Dyffryn estates, purchased in 1803, Pentrego, Maes-y-wern, Pen-y-coed, Main, Ceunant, etc., purchased 1806, Tyddyn y Cae Du in the township of Peniarth, purchased 1810, Allt Fawr purchased 1811, Peniarth Farm purchased 1812, Mathrafal or New Bridges in Llangynyw, and Gelly in the township of Peniarth, purchased 1813-1814. Among the former owners of the properties were Evan Meredith and his son David Evans of Mathrafal, the Phillips family of Pentrego, Humffreys (Humphreys) of Llwyn, Parry of Main and Penyvoil, Williams and Davies of Peniarth, Montgomeryshire, Richard Rocke of Trefnannu and Shrewsbury, Ann Jodrell of Ankerwyke, Buckinghamshire, William Mostyn Owen of Woodhouse and Thomas Owen Jones of Bishopsgate Street, London.
Many of the deeds are extremely complex and it may be necessary to search more than one file in the chronological sequence below, in order to trace all of the deeds relating to a single property.
Found with the deeds is the original schedule compiled in 1849, and a deed not listed in the schedule, 1853.
