1564-1895.

Arranged into manuscripts and papers, 1833-1891 (1-13), and letters, 1856-1905 (14-119).

Arranged into correspondence, 1864-1981 (1-39), and miscellaneous, [mid-late 19 cent.] (40-56).

The arrangement is haphazard. No attempt has been made to bring together letters which logically belong in the same group. There are, for example, several groups of letters from J. Glyn Davies within this large category of general correspondence. Also, the separate groups of letters are not always arranged chronologically (1-15003).

Items numbered 1-5537. The typed schedule for this group is arranged into records relating to the lordships and manors of Crickhowell and Tretower, and township and borough of Crickhowell, 1382-1892 (vol. 1), Monmouthshire manors, 1262-1834 (vols 2-3), Glamorgan manors, 1283-1921 (vols 4-5), miscellaneous counties, 1393-1641, and miscellaneous documents, 1429-1788 (vol. 6). The first volume of the typed schedule includes an introduction and lists of the lords and stewards of the manors of Crickhowell and Tretower, 1382-1892, and tables of constables and numbers of inhabitants, 1742-1843.

This catalogue of Pitchford estate records (also known as the 'Pitchford MSS') was prepared by the Historical Manuscripts Commission in 1963, when the records were still housed at Pitchford. In 1983 the National Library of Wales purchased all the items offered for sale by C.R.A. Grant and the owners of the estate. However, not all the papers listed by HMC in 1964 were in fact offered for sale. Nos 2-12 are now held in the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives, Kings College London; they comprise military correspondence, 1805-1903, and military miscellanea, 1811-[post-1945]; the Liddell Hart Centre's online description of them is on AIM25, <www.aim25.ac.uk>. Nos 108, 111, 125, 127, 242 and 244 are also marked "Not in NLW" in the paper schedule, and Nos 143-156, 261-265, 270-271, 276, 303, 322-324, 359, 382, 386, 415-424 451, 461, 464-465 and 546-552 are marked "Not on [or in] Sale to NLW"; Nos 23, 31, 72, 113, 204 and 317 appear to be cross-references; No. 74 was not used; and No. 502 appears to be the dorse of 501, in which case both numbers refer to a single item.
