Scope and content
Title deeds, dated between 1296 and 1695, relating to properties in Wycherley in the parish of Baschurch and to the manor of Stanwardine, including the gift of ancestral lands by Roger of Stanwardine to his son, Lewelin, 1296; purchases, leases and family settlements of Richard and John Hord, 1309-1397 and of the Kynaston family, 1495-1549. By 1562 the lands were in the possession of Robert Corbett and they descended to Thomas Corbett after the death of his father, Robert, in 1594. Subsequent documents include final concords levied between father and son, 1605, 1634, a conveyance of Stanwardine manor by Robert Corbett, 1663, and the sale and lease of the manor and vicarage tithes respectively to Thomas Corbett in 1666 and 1695.

Note
The provenance of these deeds is highly uncertain and there is no direct evidence of a link with the Brogyntyn estate. Stanwardine Hall appears to have come into the ownership of Sir John Wynn of Watstay around 1698 and it formed part of the lands comprised in a trust settlement made on behalf of Watkin Williams of Penbedw, 1771 (c.f. NLW, Peniarth Estate Records DF561-564).
