The Wynnstay collection comprises property in p's Wrexham, Ruabon, Holt, Marchwiail, Erbistock, Gresford, Llangollen, Llandysilio-yn-Iâl, Llanarmon-yn-Iâl, Bryneglwys, Llansanffraid Glynceiriog, Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant and Gwersyllt, co. Denb., and in p's Overton and Bangor Is-coed, co. Flint. The rentals for 1832-1834 (R87/2, R88/2 and R89/2) contain details of election disbursements. RA26 contains details of Wynnstay rents in 1848, with detailed descriptions of each property (acreages of meadow and pasture, arable and rough, houses and outbuildings, etc.). For tithe rent charges in p. Ruabon, 1830-1846 and 1847-1855, see RA23 and RA25. RA28 includes a survey of the collection, [late 1850s-early 1860s], giving field names, details of acreages and annual rent due, together with plans of some of the properties in p. Ruabon. Collectors: David Parry, 1810-1813, E. Pickering, 1814-1835, Edward Tench, 1835-1855, and Nathan Burlinson, 1856-1860. For details of this collection before 1810, see Collection II. Post-1860, most of the properties in the collection will be found in one or more of the following rentals, before they appear together once again in the collection entitled Farm and Cottage Rents: R116/3a and R117/2a (being estates of which Sir Watkin Williams Wynn is seised in fee simple), and R116/3c and R117/2b (being settled estates). However, the Wynnstay fee farm rents contained in R115/3e, will be found post-1860 in a separate collection for Wynnstay fee farm rents 1860-1898. They are also contained in the series of Tithe, Chief and Fee Farm Rentals. See also the series of Farm and Cottage Receiving Rentals containing Wynnstay and Ruthin rents, 1864-1925.
