Manorial leases and agreements,

These leases, originally in the Bute tin boxes numbers 32-4, are for a variety of terms: lives, terms of years, and latterly yearly, and also include a large number of agreements to take leases. The bundles were organized by man. or groups of man's, and formerly contained a number of copies of court roll, which have been transferred to Class M, manorial records. A number of the remaining deeds may well relate to properties that had once been copyhold. A number also relate to properties represented by bundles in the main series of deeds, e.g. Cathays and Plas Turton in Cardiff. A number of man's are unrepresented, eg, Llyswyrny, Peterston and St Fagans, and Ogmore and Spittle, among others, appear to be under-represented.
