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.

Notices to quit, arranged into Roath (AGL 11/2), Whitchurch (AGL 11/3) and other parishes (AGL 11/1), and an original bundle of notices of assignment (AGL 11/4).

Glamorgan mineral leases other than coal leases, and including ironstone, limestone, building stone and clay. Coal leases are held separately at Tredegar AGL 3.

Although the lease books do not constitute an extensive series of estate records, they can provide some interesting information, including details of the lease, lessee (including successive lessees of the same property), the property concerned (often described in detail), the term of the lease and rents. With the exception of AGL 1/5, the entries in these volumes are frequently annotated and altered. There are references to ledgers, possibly the series of rent ledgers AGD 1-2.

Rental surveys of the Glamorgan estate, listing tenants and properties by parish, giving acreage, rents, land tax and particulars of tenancy.

The Glamorgan estate began to gather rural cottage and farm rents and urban ground rents accounts into separate ledgers almost from the begining of the estate in 1846. However the first ledgers described on their spines as Cardiff ledgers are dated 1893, and these form the first volumes in this series. Their predecessor volumes will be found among the Glamorgan estate ledgers (AGD 1), as will contemporaneous ledgers of ground rents in Splott and Roath while they continue to be described as Glamorgan ground rents. -- The rent ledgers were reorganised in 1925, with two series of loose-leaf volumes intitled Cardiff Urban A to K (AGD 2/27-37), and Glamorgan Urban W to X (AGD 1/27-28) gathering together groups of streets in alphabetical order, A (A-Br), B (Bu-Cl), C (Co-D) etc. Many of the accounts end with the freehold being conveyed, mostly in the period 1955-60, and often to the tenant, but also, for example, to the Cardiff & Co. Superanuation & Benefit Society, Cardiff Corporation, Cossam Investment Co. Ltd, Glam. Estates Ltd, Gwalia Land & Prop. Dev. Ltd, and Valley Properties (Hengoed) Ltd. Notes on the accounts include the deaths of tenants and other changes of tenant, war damage and war damage compensation, and mortgagors. AGD 2/38-40 contain of folios taken out of AGD 2/27-37 and AGD 1/27-28. These folios appear to apply to properties, the freeholds of which were conveyed during the life of the volumes. Most, if not all, of the freeholds were conveyed in the period 1926-52.

Cardiff rents account drainage books, giving details of drainage, certificate and private improvement charges, by tenant and property. Both volumes were in use at the same time.

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 accounts of Henry John Davis (1877-1902), G. P. Mitchell Jones (1903-1918), John Ireland Storrar (1919-1940) and their successors with Lord Tredegar and the trustees of the Tredegar settled estates for the Cardiff and Pontypridd ground rents, along with miscellaneous receipts and promiscuous payments. This series of audit books was initiated in 1877, when the Cardiff and Pontypridd ground rents were taken out of the Glamorgan estate audit books (AGR 3), which continued as the Glamorgan agricultural estate audit books. -- In 1877 the rental contained ground rents in Cardiff, Tredegarville, Oakville, Roath, Splottlands and Newbridge (later Pontypridd); ground rents in Llanwynno were added in 1878, South Splottlands in 1883, Canton in 1887, Penylan in 1900, Llan Wood in 1906. There was no further change until 1920, when the Pontypridd, Llanwood and Llanwynno ground rents were transferred to a new series, the Glamorgan town estate audit books (AGR 5), and the books of the remaining Cardiff estate renamed 'Cardiff lease rent audit books'. The Glamorgan town series comes to an end in 1938, and in 1939 rents in Pontypridd, Eglwysilan, Gelli-gaer, Llys-faen, Rhyd-y-gwern, Peterston-super-montem, Rhydri and Whitchurch are added to the Cardiff books, which are renamed 'Glamorganshire town and Cardiff audit books'. -- The audit books for 1941-42 end with balances struck on the accounts, but the parties to the accounts are not named; the books for 1943-54 end simply with a summary of the rents, balanced with the total of rents according to the collection books, and lack the supplementary accounts or a balance struck. In 1949 the title of the books changes to reflect the change that they are no longer settled accounts, changing from 'audit book' to 'rental'. The book for 1952 was originally intitled '1950', and the series lacks a book for 1950. The series ends in 1954. -- In common with the other estates of the Tredegar estate, the Cardiff ground rents estate produced duplicate audit books, one for the estate and one for the agent, until the practice was abandoned, in the case of the Cardiff estate after 1890.
