Title deeds and other associated documents concerning properties belonging to the Owen and Ormsby Gore families of Brogyntyn in Salop (Shropshire), 1607-1939, Montgomeryshire, 1647-1902, Merioneth, 1706-1961, Caernarfonshire, 1813-1924, Denbighshire, 1844-1898, Flintshire, 1870-1897, London, 1795-1895, Ireland, 1665-1920, and miscellaneous locations, [1600x1899], 1729-1977. The deeds reflect the consolidation of the Brogyntyn home estates in and around Oswestry and Selatyn, the development of the brick-making industry in Shropshire, the leasing of mines and quarries under mountain farms in Merioneth and Caernarfonshire, and building developments in the popular resorts of Borth-y-gest, Cricieth and Portmadoc. Most of the purchases were made by the Brogyntyn trustees in accordance with the terms of family wills and settlements, particularly those of 1815, 1844 and 1881. Consequently many of the files contain official reports, orders, etc. issued by the High Court of Chancery in connection with the purchases; these are not described at file level unless deemed to be especially significant. Some deeds record sales of parts of the Ormsby Gore family estates for the purposes of water supply, cemeteries, chapels and schools, and for the schemes of the Irish Land Commission
