A volume of Churchwardens' accounts for the parish of Llanfair-juxta-Harlech, Merioneth, 1700-1813 (ff. 1 verso-66 passim, 78 verso, 79 verso). The accounts from 1710 to 1732 are in the autograph of Ellis Wynne, Lasynys, who held the living of Llanfair from 1711 to his death in 1734 (ff. 8-30 verso passim), and those from 1732 to 1750 in that of his son and successor, William Wynn (ff. 31, 32-40).
Also included are minutes of vestry meetings held in the years 1734, 1736, 1757, 1768, 1770, 1772 and 1774 (ff. 52 verso-53, 54 recto-verso, 59-60, 73 verso); several signed receipts of Churchwardens and overseers of the poor for the later eighteenth century (ff. 44 verso, 58 verso, 61-62, 63, 64-65, 72 verso-74 verso); and two lists of Churchwardens of the parish, the first, for 1700-1750, 1773-1823, in various hands (ff. 3 verso, 4 verso-5 verso, 6 verso-7 verso, 8 verso), and the second, for 1700-1747, in the hand of William Wynn (75 verso-76 verso). The accounts for 1748 only are recorded in Welsh (f. 39).
