Scope and content
Volume of rent rolls and receipts of rents, including for properties in p's Coychurch and Coety, and assumed to relate to part of the Dunraven estate. On the first page are memoranda of heriots, arrears and agreements, 1673-1674. The first rent roll is dated Sept. 1671, and the receipts of this Michaelmas rent are dated Jan. 1671[/2]-Aug. 1673. The same pattern of rent roll and receipts is maintained for May 1672, Sept. 1672 and May 1673. Subsequently the rent roll is omitted, with seperate half-yearly receipts only, from the [Michaelmas 1673] rent, received Dec. 1673-Oct. 1675, to the March 1678 rent, received Oct. 1678-April 1679. From the back of the volume are further memoranda, 1672-1673, and an account of payments "p'd my self" and others, 1671-1679[/80]. The volume is untitled and unsigned, and the accounts are unaudited. Very few placenames are mentioned. The only place names in the first rental are Watertown Mill, Morfa Farm and Coychurch. Other place names include a parcel of land called Cae Garrw in p's Coety and Coychurch, a common called keven heergoed, and ka morfa shark, Castle Moat, Berllan Vawr, Old castle, and heerwayn in Coety.
