Scope and content
Title deeds of houses, farms and lands mainly in the parish and/or commote of Llanfihangel Genau’r-glyn (formerly called Llanfihangel Castell Gwallter), 1334-1899. The earliest comprise two documents of inspeximus and confirmation to members of the Clement family, of lands in Pennardd, Coedmor and Genau’r-glyn, mentioning Gogerddan, 1334, 1427/8. There is also a lease by the Abbot of Strata Florida, 1539. Most of the files contain evidence of acquisitions by John Pryse and Sir Richard Pryse in the late sixteenth and early seventeeeth centuries, and by Margaret Pryse of Woodstock in the late eighteenth century, together with leases by their successors. Other prominent names include John Wogan of Wiston, the Phillipps family of Aberystwyth, Moris ap Rees ap David Goch of Llanfihangel Genau’r-glyn, and the Morgan family of Dole, Glanfread and Pwllglas. The nineteenth century deeds provide evidence of building developments in the parish, and of the existence of woollen factories and a school at Tal-y-bont, 1785-1899. Two files also include properties in the adjacent parish of Llanbadarn Fawr, 1567-1646, and 1863-1873.
