Title deeds, estate accounts and correspondence, papers relating mainly to the estate of Bishop John Hume and Lady Mary Hume, etc.

Daybooks containing an account of materials arriving at the Tredegar estate works, Rhiwderyn. From the rear of ADY 2/1 is an account of 69 lots of sawn oak received from the mill, 1914-(?). ADY 2/2 is closed with the endorsement 'End of account. See "Materials Inward" book, no. 2'.

Desk diaries used as daybooks, containing lists and prices of building materials used to repair and maintain estate properties. It may be possible to relate these books to the Rhiwderin estate works ledgers (ADY 1) and daybooks (ADY 2-3), although a cursory examination failed to do so. The 1936 volume starts at the beginning of the year, and the 1949 volume continues to the end of the year, so there were probably predecessor and successor volumes that have not survived. The volumes for 1936-1943 contain lists of (employees'?) Health Insurance cards received, and 1936-40 of 'Trustee work - cowsheds, water supplies etc'. The 1940 volume encloses monthly lists, March-Oct., of 'cubic ft of timber issued from yard', giving the total amount of timber and the amount of home-grown larch, oak, etc. The 1941 volume contains a list of properties for which forms C.2 have been received.

Breconshire deeds and leases, mainly draft conveyances relating to the 1915 sale of much of the Breconshire estate.

Deeds and related papers relating to Herefordshire properties. Three files (D 3/3, 6-7) are original bundles relating to the Edwards family of Whitfield in the parish of Peterstow. -- The other five files consist of Herefordshire deeds and related papers, 1505-1845, that have been brought together in chronological order for convenience. Most of these papers were probably originally bundled together, but were found loose. They relate to properties in the parishes of Hentland, Goodrich, Bridstow, Peterstow, Marstow, and in 'Wilton', 'Clewston' and 'Owld Mill'. Properties include the capital messuage of Penmerk in the township of Little Wilton in the lordship of Wilton upon Wye, and two water corn mills called the New Mills in the parish of Eaton Bishop. The papers include leases, bonds, final concords, probates of wills, conveyances, accounts, memoranda, a map, 18 cent., and a survey, c.1845. -- These estates may be those contested in the court case, Edwards v. Scudamore, 1723-1790 (Tredegar L 2), and some at least were in the possession of Octavius Morgan, c.1845, which probably explains these papers' presence among the Tredegar estate records.

The papers comprise deeds and papers relating to the Morgan family and the succession at Tredegar, the genealogy of the Morgan family of Tredegar and related families, the personal papers of individual members of the Morgan family, particularly the antiquarian papers of Octavius Morgan, appointments to public office, particularly as lord lieutenant and custos rotulorum, and deeds and papers relating to families that members of the Morgan family were involved with, for example as executors of wills or trustees of settlements.

The series comprises a collection of deeds, each in its own individual presentation box. The deeds include a grant of free warren, 1616, a royal pardon to William Morgan of Dderw, 1644, appointments as lord lieutenant, custos rotulorum and advocate general, 1702-1933, grants of arms, 1779-1792, licences to take new surnames, 1787-1792, and grants of the rank of baronet, 1702, and viscount, 1905. -- The great seal is attached to the letters patent and most of the appointments. The armorial seals of Garter and Clarenceux kings of arms are attached to the grants of arms, and a broken and crudely repaired seal of the Duchy of Lancaster is attached to the 1761 appointment as steward of the Three Castles.

Collection books of the Glamorgan agricultural estate. The series continues in AGO 3/9.

Collection books of the Cardiff estate. There was probably at least one earlier collection book, which has not survived, as there is a balance in the first volume of the current series, AGO 3/1, carried 'Forward from previous Coll'n Book' (19 May 1925, £281-13-3). The last volume in this series ends on 3 April 1940, when the balances are 'Carried forward to new Glam. Col. Bk' (AGO 2/3).
