During Clive’s second governorship (1765-1767) a select committee was composed of himself and his own nominees and friends. The East India Company intended it as a compromise measure to prevent Clive from acting independently of the council, but at the same time vested the power he required in the committee. Theoretically, the committee’s brief was ‘to restore Peace and Tranquillity to the Company’s Affairs in Bengall’ after which its authority was to devolve to the council. In reality, Clive did act independently of the council, using the committee to effect his reforms, and continued to use it as Calcutta’s main governing body even after peace had been achieved.

The jagir was the annuity of 300, 000 rupees or £27, 000 granted to Clive in 1759 by Mir Jafar, the Nawab of Bengal, as a reward for his services in defending Bengal against the attacks of the Shazada [son of the Emperor]. Based on the land revenues that Mir Jafar received from the Company for the district around Calcutta, the jagir substantially increased Clive’s personal fortune but became a bone of contention between himself and the Court of Directors.

In 1801 the Rev. Benjamin Millingchamp (d. 1829), a native of Cardigan, bought Plas Llangoedmor from David Lloyd, whose family had owned the place since at least 1550.

The eldest son, Herbert, died of wounds in the Crimea in 1855, and another son, Edward Percival, died of cholera in Bombay in 1864. Llangoedmor was inherited by the third son, John Vaughan (1830-1881), who had five sons. He was succeeed by his eldest son, Herbert Millingchamp Vaughan (1870-1948) who sold much of the contents of Plas Llangoedmor in 1924 and settled in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, having sold Plas Llanhoedmor mansion to David Berrington Griffiths Davies of Castle Green, Cardigan.
