Estate rentals, 1772-1808. In 1772/3 there was a major re-arrangement of the rent collecting system. The manor of Cyfeiliog does not form part of this re-arrangement, except in that from 1772 the Tirymynych estate appears consistently in the same collection as the Rhiwsaeson and Mathafarn estates. The manor of Cyfeiliog does not re-appear until 1786. The other existing collections are re-arranged into five numbered collections, and a number of other collections. The post-1809 rentals have been treated differently.

Estate rentals pre-1772. See also Wynnstay MS 86 (described elsewhere in this hierarchical structure with the other Wynnstay MSS) for early accounts and rentals (1300/1 onwards). Since this rental was deposited at NLW some years before the arrival of the main series of rentals and has been known as Wynnstay MS 86 for many years, it was deemed best not to alter this reference number, and not to include the volume in the general series of Wynnstay Rentals.
