Series ABA 2 - Copy Breconshire estate audit books,

Copies of the audited accounts between the estate agent and the estate owner. Some of these volumes are more in the nature of drafts, and include remarks relating to increases and decreases in rent and to rents written off that are not included in the final version of the audit (eg, 'a decrease of £1-0-4 for building burnt down', 1872, Llan-ddew). From 1891 these copy audit books contain the rentals only, although ABA 2/15 (1903-1905) contains the accounts of H. Edgar Thomas with Lord Tredegar for woods and plantations; private bills; rents, rates and taxes; management expences including salaries and wages; subscriptions, donations and pensions; Coutts & Co.; improvements; and repairs.
