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).

Mainly settled accounts, being rentals of the Ruperra estate in the parishes of Llanfihangel-y-fedw, Cardiff, Roath, Whitchurch, Llanisien, Llys-faen, Rhydri, Tregolwin and Llanwonno in Glamorgan, Garthbrengi, Llandyfalle, Bronllys, Glasbury and Llys-wen in Breconshire, Sandhill Farm and Stowy Farm in Somerset, and the estate left to Thomas Morgan of Ruperra, esq., by Lewis Morgan of Machen, esq., in the parishes of Basaleg, Coedcernyw, St Brides, Marshfield, Michaelston-y-fedw, St Mellons, Rumney, Peterstone and Malpas in Monmouthshire, plus casual profits and promiscuous payments. Lewis Morgan's late estate is distinguished from the rest of Thomas Morgan's estate until 1743; from 1744 it is listed with the rest of the estate. -- There are also a number of rough copies, probably drafts, and duplicate accounts. -- The rental includes the whole of the estate until 1766 (Somerset disappears after 1756); the 1767 rental is for Glamorgan only, while the 1768 rental is headed 'Ruperra estate in the county of Glamorgan'. The rentals for 1769 and 1770 were presumably missing before the Tredegar estate records came to NLW, as they fall between the former NLW references Tredegar MSS 48 and 49. The 1771 rental is of holdings in the parishes of Llanfedw, Cardiff, Roath, Whitchurch, Llanisien, Gelli-gaer, Llanwynno, Colwinston, Llys-faen, Rhydri and Michaelston-y-fedw, and the township of Llanfedw, all in Glamorgan, and in Newport town and the parishes of Rumney, Basaleg, St Brides, St Mellons, Coedcernyw, Marshfield, Peterstone, Malpas, Llantarnam, Llanfihangel-y-fedw in Monmouthshire. -- At the rear of AGR 1/4-5 are settled accounts of Tredegar rents in the parishes of Rumney, Peterstone, St Brides, Marshfield, Coedcernyw, St Mellons and Llanfihangel-y-fedw in Monmouthshire, plus casual profits and promiscuous payments, 1773-1787. The rentals are the continuation of the NLW Tredegar MSS 17, the collection of William Morrice. Malpas is added in 1783.

Settled accounts of Evan Phillips with John Morgan, esq., for the rents of the Friars estate in the parishes of Abergavenny, Basaleg, Christchurch, Gelli-gaer, Llanwenarth, Llys-faen, Machen, Marshfield, Mynyddislwyn, Peterstone, Peterstone-super-montem, Rumney, Rhydri, St Woolloos and Trefethin.

The audit books of the Glamorgan estate are the audited, settled annual accounts between the agent and the estate. In common with the other estates of the Tredegar estate, the Glamorgan estate produced duplicate audit books, one for the estate and one for the agent, until the practice was abandoned, in the case of the Glamorgan estate, after 1891. The series also includes a few draft or working copies of the audit, 1901-1909. The audit books give an annual list of the tenants and their holdings, arranged by parish or street, together with the rent due and the rent paid. As a convenient year by year record of properties on the estate, they correspond with what go under the name of 'rentals' among the records of many other estates. In the Tredegar archive, only the last few audit books are called rentals. -- The Glamorgan estate audit books begin in 1846 (the first Glamorgan cash book, also for 1846, duplicates the information for 1846 in AGR 3/1), and they record the audit of the whole Glamorgan estate until 1876. From 1877 the Pontypridd and Cardiff ground rents are recorded in a separate series of books (AGR 4), while the 'farm estate', later 'agricultural estate', series continues as before up to 1938. From 1939 the audit of the Glamorgan agricultural estate is incorporated into the series of Monmouthshire agricultural estate audit books. The series of Cardiff ground rent audit books, 1877-1954 (AGR 4), include such urban areas as Splott, Tredegarville and Oakville. The Pontypridd ground rents are included, 1877-1919, until they are incorporated into the Glamorgan town estate, 1920-1938 (AGR 5), before returning to the Cardiff ground rents, 1939-1954.

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.

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.
