The Cardiff District was formed out of the Glamorgan Estate in 1842, 'of that part of the Marquis of Bute's Estate that is situated in Cardiff and its immediate vicinity comprehending the Town of Cardiff the Docks and accommodation Lands extending easterly to the confines of Adams Down Farm on the road leading from the Bristol Channel along the Cardiff Moors to near the County Gaol and from thence to the East Toll Gate on the Turnpike Road leading to Newport and from thence along the Road leading to the Race Course to Crws y bychan Toll Bar to the Road over the Railway Bridge at the Top of Cathays Park and along the Boundary of the Blackweir and Park Farm to the Taff River following its course from thence to the Channel' (R 5/1, cover). In 1842 Cardiff was made a separate district. The arrears of 1841 and the previous years were however charged to the 'Cardiff District and are contained in the following pages' (R 4/1, p.3). From 1876/77, most of the remaining Cardiff properties and all of the Roath properties in the Glamorgan Estate were transferred to the Cardiff District which, as Cardiff, has rentals coming down to 1895. Many of the draft Cardiff District rentals (series R 5) contain an index to streets which was not fair-copied into these rentals, except in 1894 and 1895 (R 4/43 and 44). R 4/12-26 contain lists of 'Public House License Money', listing Bute's licensed Cardiff premises and their tenants.

A number of once loose booklets and paper rentals, collections and accounts down to 1815 were at some stage bound together and numbered 1-13 (now R 6/1-2, 4-6, 9-10, 12, 16-17, 20, 25, 27). Vol. 1 (R 6/1) combines two rentals of 1595-6 covering various manors, starting with Senghennydd Supra and Neath Ultra respectively; vols 2-13 are gatherings by collection, some of them of a single manor, others of a number of manors. From 1816 (R 6/28) all the manorial rentals are brought together into a single volume, although various post-1815 drafts and duplicates survive from the various individual collections.
