Settled accounts of John Ireland Storrar (1920-1938) with Lord Tredegar (1920-1933) and the trustees of the Tredegar settled estates (1934-1938) for the rents of the Glamorgan town estate, and casual receipts and promiscuous payments. -- The Glamorgan town estate was created in 1920 out of premises in the parishes of Eglwysilan, Gelli-gaer, Llys-faen, Peterston-super-montem, Rhydri, Rhyd-y-gwern and Whitchurch that had previously been part of the Glamorgan estate (AGR 3), plus the Pontypridd ground rents, which until 1919 had been included with the Cardiff ground rents (AGR 4). Thereafter the remainder of the Glamorgan estate was called the Glamorgan agricultural estate. In 1939 the Pontypridd ground rents returned to the books of the Cardiff ground rents.

The settled cash accounts of H. J. Davis (1889-1903) with Lord Tredegar relating to the Herefordshire estate. AHA 3/1 also contains five rental ledger accounts relating to properties on the Herefordshire estate, 1902-03 (ff. 60, 66, 72, 78, 84). Much of AHA 2/1 comprises a day book of receipts and payments relating to the Herefordshire estate, 1903-11, and may be the cash book to straddle the gap between AHA 3/1 and 3/2.

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.

Ledgers relating to the Herefordshire estate, containing ledger accounts for rents and tithes in the parishes of Marstow, Hentland, Peterstow (including Little Whitfield), Bridstow, Welsh Bicknor and Goodrich, and summary accounts of G. P. Mitchell Innes with Lord Tredegar for the Hereford rents. Much of AHA 2/1 comprises a day book of receipts and payments relating to the Herefordshire estate, 1903-11, and may be the cash book to straddle the gap between AHA 3/1 and 3/2.

The file comprises papers relating to the cause in Chancery, 1865, between Samuel Homfray and Watkin Homfray, plaintiffs, and Rowland Fothergill and William Henry Forman, defendants, relating to the Tredegar Iron Company and the Sirhowy Railway Company. The papers include a probate copy of the will of Samuel Homfray of Coworth House, Berkshire, 1822, and bills of complaint, affadavits, answers, letters, opinions, and transcripts, 1865.

Inventories and schedules of deeds and other papers held at Tredegar, 1775-c.1843, a series of lease books recording deeds passed at the Tredegar estate office, 1896-1936, and a post-1950 schedule of leases.

Rentals and settled accounts of the Tredegar estate in Monmouthshire in the collection of James Tuder (1769-1785) and Henry Brown (1786-1803), together with accounts of casual profits and promiscuous payments. -- The first volume in the series (AMA 3/1) is the settled accounts for the rents of the Tredegar estate in Monmouthshire in the collection of James Tuder (late Thomas Bryan and Charles Powell) in the parishes of Basaleg, Betws, Caerleon & Lansore, Henllys, Malpas, Marshfield, Nash, Newport, Risca and St Woolloos, school lands in Basaleg and St Woolloos, the manors of Caldicot Westend, Llanfaches, Llanfihangel, Magor, Magor le green moor, Newchurch, Roggiet & Ifton, Shirenewton and Undy, the unsettled estate in Thomas Bryan's collection in the parishes of Basaleg, Caerleon & Lansore, Malpas, Newport and St Woolloos, and the manor of Stow, all in the former collection of Thomas Bryan, and in the parishes of Abergavenny, Betws, Cemais Comawndwr, Llanfair and Llangatwg, and the manors of Arnold Castle and Llanfair, and the unsettled estate in [Llangatwg] Coedmorgan, Llanthony or Grosmont, and Llandeilo Gresynni, all in the former collection of Charles Powell. Llanddewi Rhydderch appears in Charles Powell's late collection in 1768. -- By the last volume in the series (AMA 3/13), the collection has evolved into Ruperra and other rents in Newport and the parishes of Basaleg, Coedcernyw, Llanfihangel-y-fedw, Llantarnam, Malpas, Marshfield, Peterstone, Rumney, St Brides and St Mellons, the Friars estate (late Mrs Smith's) in the parishes of Abergavenny, Basaleg, Llanwenarth, Machen, Mynyddislwyn, St Woolloos and Trefethin, and a single property (late Rev. William Edwards's) in the parish of Llanfihangel-y-fedw, all in Monmouthshire, and accounts of casual profits and promiscuous payments, including for Ruperra house and demense, the Friars estate, the Tredegar Park tram road, and the New Lodge weighing machine.

Legal papers: William Morgan v Sibilla Wayte over the former's claim to the Tredegar estate on account of her alleged marriage to Sir William Morgan.

The main series of letters received by the Tredegar estate. The letters were in binders variously intitled 'Mon letters <start date> to <end date>' and 'Monmouthshire and general letters', which despite their titles included letters relating to properties and interests in Glamorgan and Breconshire as well as Monmouthshire. The letters are addressed to J. G. Palling (1879-1881), F. J. Justice (1880-1902), Heber P. Williams (1902-) at the Tredegar estate office, Newport. -- The letters include a number of telegrams, accounts and receipts, as well as notices of assignments of leases and mortgages. (For a series of notices, 1900-1906, see AEC 4). The letters include letters from other Tredegar estate officers (particularly the Breconshire agent, the mineral estate agent and the London solicitor), tenants, prospective tenants, local authorities, other local landowners and estates, commercial concerns and local organisations. The commercial concerns include railway companies, collieries, ironworks, brick manufacturers, wholesalers, solicitors, timber merchants, architects and land surveyors. There are also a few letters to and from Lord Tredegar and Frederic C. Morgan of Ruperra Castle. -- The local organisations and interests are extremely varied, and the letters include applications and receipts for subscriptions and donations. The March-July 1880 letters (AEC 2/2) for example include the Bedwellte Agricultural Society (12, 14), Prince Llewellyn Lodge of Philanthropie, Blaenafon (116), Cardiff Show (103), Cardiff & Penarth Regatta (11), Chepstow Farmers' Club (143), Glamorganshire General Agricultural Society (115), Gloucestershire Agricultural Society (103), a brass band being formed in the parish of Llanfihangel Crucornau (116), Llanvetherine Ploughing Society (143), Magor Farmers' Association (113), Monmouthshire & Caerleon Antiquarian Society (13), the 1st & 2nd Monmouthshire Rifle Volunteers (116, 123), the mayor of Newport's fund relief of the distressed families of the sufferers of the late colliery explosion (9), Pontypool Football Club (145), G & H Batteries of the 1st Worcestershire Artillery Volunteer Corps, headquartered at Pontypool (3), St Mellons District Annual Ploughing Match (144) and the Usk Rifle Corps (123). -- The letters within each binder are generally in chronological order of the date of writing, each letter within each binder being numbered and indexed in the index at the front of each binder. However some letters have earlier letters in the same correspondence grouped with them; the dates of these letters, which can be months earlier, are not taken into consideration in the covering dates of the binders. There are gaps in the numbering sequence within some of the files, and scraps of paper found on the spikes of the original binders are evidence that some letters were torn out, probably being required in the continuing management of the estate. Very occasionally a note was added to the file, or endorsed on an adjacent letter, as to what had happened to the extracted letter. Some letters were later returned to the file, pinned to adjacent letters. Almost every binder has a few letters at the back, out of date order. The letters in the binder covering Jan.-Feb. 1902 (AEC 2/77) are the most out of order, probably due to the upheaval caused by the death of Colonel Justice. -- From July 1902, ring binders with alphabetical dividers were used instead of spiked binders. The letters are not numbered and indexed, merely filed in roughly alphabetical order. -- The original binders and ring binders were rusty and dirty, and have been discarded. The letters from each binder have been kept together as a file.

Files of letters, 1898-1905, that do not form part of the main series of letters received. The first file (AEC 3/1) extracted from a binder entitled 'Tredegar Estate', comprises letters, 1898-1900, mainly relating to Cardiff, Roath and Pontypridd, although there are also a number of letters relating to Newport. The remaining original files (AEC 3/2-11) comprise letters, 1903-1905, originally filed in rough alphabetical order in a series of ring binders. Two groups of loose letters and related papers, 1794-1939, has been appended to the series (AEC 3/12-13). These various groups of letters have been brought together for convenience; there is no suggestion that they originally formed a single series. The original binders have been discarded.
