Scope and content
Title deeds of properties acquired through purchase, lease, mortgage, marriage and inheritance by members of the Conway and Mostyn families of Nant, [mid-14 cent.], 1367-[c. 1686], mainly in the parishes of Cwm, Llanasa, Meliden and Rhiwlyfnwyd, but also in Bodfari, Gwaunysgor, Cilcain, Rhuddlan and Whitford. The earliest title deeds include a small number of fourteenth century documents involving the de Crevecoeur family, lords of Prestatyn. Further items of significance are conveyances of lands in Cwm and Diserth from 1533 to 1625 by the Lloyds of Hiraddug, who had established a marital connection to the Mostyn family. Other deeds show the acquisition of land by the Conway family, mainly in Llanasa and Meliden, between 1539 and 1624. Family settlements and associated documents of the Mostyn family, dating from 1625 to 1659, relate to lands mainly in Meliden, but also in Llanasa, Cilcain, Cwm and Whitford. Other families represented in the deeds include Holland of Prestatyn, and Prestland of Prestatyn and Wardle, Cheshire.
