Letters relating to Cardiff ground rents. The letters for the period Jan. 1899-June 1902 were numbered and filed in binders in chronological order, with a name index to each file. These binders were intitled 'HJD letters, from [start date] to [end date]'. The letters for July 1902-Aug. 1905 were filed in ring binders in roughly alphabetical order. These later binders were variously entitled 'Cardiff ground rents', 'Cardiff rents a/c', and simply 'Cardiff'. The letters have now been extracted from their original binders, which were rusty and dirty, but kept in their original order.

These cash books are initially intitled 'Cardiff ground rents', 1877-1919 (AGH 2/1-3), the last volume closing with the words 'Balance carried forward to Glam'n town estate cash book no. 1'. The change to 'Glamorgan town estate' cash books, 1920-1942 (AGH 2/4-6), however, appears to be merely nominal. AGH 2/1 is also intitled 'Mr H. J. Davis. From 1st Jan'y to 31 Dec'r 1896'. -- There is no balance carried forward to AGH 2/1, which may therefore be the first cash book to have been used by this estate. The last transactions in AGH 2/6 are in Dec. 1942, when the account was closed and 'Balance transferred to Mon town a/c'.

Mainly settled accounts, being rentals of the Ruperra estate in the parishes of Llanfihangel-y-fedw, Cardiff, Roath, Whitchurch, Llanisien, Llys-faen, Rhydri, Tregolwin and Llanwonno in Glamorgan, Garthbrengi, Llandyfalle, Bronllys, Glasbury and Llys-wen in Breconshire, Sandhill Farm and Stowy Farm in Somerset, and the estate left to Thomas Morgan of Ruperra, esq., by Lewis Morgan of Machen, esq., in the parishes of Basaleg, Coedcernyw, St Brides, Marshfield, Michaelston-y-fedw, St Mellons, Rumney, Peterstone and Malpas in Monmouthshire, plus casual profits and promiscuous payments. Lewis Morgan's late estate is distinguished from the rest of Thomas Morgan's estate until 1743; from 1744 it is listed with the rest of the estate. -- There are also a number of rough copies, probably drafts, and duplicate accounts. -- The rental includes the whole of the estate until 1766 (Somerset disappears after 1756); the 1767 rental is for Glamorgan only, while the 1768 rental is headed 'Ruperra estate in the county of Glamorgan'. The rentals for 1769 and 1770 were presumably missing before the Tredegar estate records came to NLW, as they fall between the former NLW references Tredegar MSS 48 and 49. The 1771 rental is of holdings in the parishes of Llanfedw, Cardiff, Roath, Whitchurch, Llanisien, Gelli-gaer, Llanwynno, Colwinston, Llys-faen, Rhydri and Michaelston-y-fedw, and the township of Llanfedw, all in Glamorgan, and in Newport town and the parishes of Rumney, Basaleg, St Brides, St Mellons, Coedcernyw, Marshfield, Peterstone, Malpas, Llantarnam, Llanfihangel-y-fedw in Monmouthshire. -- At the rear of AGR 1/4-5 are settled accounts of Tredegar rents in the parishes of Rumney, Peterstone, St Brides, Marshfield, Coedcernyw, St Mellons and Llanfihangel-y-fedw in Monmouthshire, plus casual profits and promiscuous payments, 1773-1787. The rentals are the continuation of the NLW Tredegar MSS 17, the collection of William Morrice. Malpas is added in 1783.

Settled accounts of Evan Phillips with John Morgan, esq., for the rents of the Friars estate in the parishes of Abergavenny, Basaleg, Christchurch, Gelli-gaer, Llanwenarth, Llys-faen, Machen, Marshfield, Mynyddislwyn, Peterstone, Peterstone-super-montem, Rumney, Rhydri, St Woolloos and Trefethin.

The audit books of the Glamorgan estate are the audited, settled annual accounts between the agent and the estate. In common with the other estates of the Tredegar estate, the Glamorgan estate produced duplicate audit books, one for the estate and one for the agent, until the practice was abandoned, in the case of the Glamorgan estate, after 1891. The series also includes a few draft or working copies of the audit, 1901-1909. The audit books give an annual list of the tenants and their holdings, arranged by parish or street, together with the rent due and the rent paid. As a convenient year by year record of properties on the estate, they correspond with what go under the name of 'rentals' among the records of many other estates. In the Tredegar archive, only the last few audit books are called rentals. -- The Glamorgan estate audit books begin in 1846 (the first Glamorgan cash book, also for 1846, duplicates the information for 1846 in AGR 3/1), and they record the audit of the whole Glamorgan estate until 1876. From 1877 the Pontypridd and Cardiff ground rents are recorded in a separate series of books (AGR 4), while the 'farm estate', later 'agricultural estate', series continues as before up to 1938. From 1939 the audit of the Glamorgan agricultural estate is incorporated into the series of Monmouthshire agricultural estate audit books. The series of Cardiff ground rent audit books, 1877-1954 (AGR 4), include such urban areas as Splott, Tredegarville and Oakville. The Pontypridd ground rents are included, 1877-1919, until they are incorporated into the Glamorgan town estate, 1920-1938 (AGR 5), before returning to the Cardiff ground rents, 1939-1954.

Settled accounts of the Machen collection in the parishes of Bedwas, Bedwellte, Llantarnam, Machen, Mynyddislwyn and Pant-teg in Monmouthshire, and Eglwysilan, Gelli-gaer, Rhydri and Rhyd-y-gwern in Glamorgan, with accounts of casual profits and promiscuous payments. The last volume in the series, AMA 2/10, is not settled.

Rentals and settled accounts of the Tredegar estate in Monmouthshire in the collection of James Tuder (1769-1785) and Henry Brown (1786-1803), together with accounts of casual profits and promiscuous payments. -- The first volume in the series (AMA 3/1) is the settled accounts for the rents of the Tredegar estate in Monmouthshire in the collection of James Tuder (late Thomas Bryan and Charles Powell) in the parishes of Basaleg, Betws, Caerleon & Lansore, Henllys, Malpas, Marshfield, Nash, Newport, Risca and St Woolloos, school lands in Basaleg and St Woolloos, the manors of Caldicot Westend, Llanfaches, Llanfihangel, Magor, Magor le green moor, Newchurch, Roggiet & Ifton, Shirenewton and Undy, the unsettled estate in Thomas Bryan's collection in the parishes of Basaleg, Caerleon & Lansore, Malpas, Newport and St Woolloos, and the manor of Stow, all in the former collection of Thomas Bryan, and in the parishes of Abergavenny, Betws, Cemais Comawndwr, Llanfair and Llangatwg, and the manors of Arnold Castle and Llanfair, and the unsettled estate in [Llangatwg] Coedmorgan, Llanthony or Grosmont, and Llandeilo Gresynni, all in the former collection of Charles Powell. Llanddewi Rhydderch appears in Charles Powell's late collection in 1768. -- By the last volume in the series (AMA 3/13), the collection has evolved into Ruperra and other rents in Newport and the parishes of Basaleg, Coedcernyw, Llanfihangel-y-fedw, Llantarnam, Malpas, Marshfield, Peterstone, Rumney, St Brides and St Mellons, the Friars estate (late Mrs Smith's) in the parishes of Abergavenny, Basaleg, Llanwenarth, Machen, Mynyddislwyn, St Woolloos and Trefethin, and a single property (late Rev. William Edwards's) in the parish of Llanfihangel-y-fedw, all in Monmouthshire, and accounts of casual profits and promiscuous payments, including for Ruperra house and demense, the Friars estate, the Tredegar Park tram road, and the New Lodge weighing machine.

The settled and other accounts of Evan Phillips (d. 1803) for the Tredegar Lower Collection, including in the parishes of Coedcernyw, Llanfihangel-y-fedw, Malpas, Marshfield, Peterstone, Rumney, St Brides and St Mellons.

Unbound files of audit sheets of the Tredegar Town estate, for the half-years ending Midsummer and Christmas.

Audit books, being the annual accounts of the estate agents, G. P. Mitchell Jones (1911-1918), Leonard Foster Stedman (1919-1937), John Ireland Storrar (1938-1940), with Lord Tredegar (1911-1940) and the executors of Courtenay, viscount Tredegar (1934-1936). For the period 1941-1948, the account is simply headed 'Private account'. The annual account includes accounts of receipts and expenditure relating to Coutts & Co., the Park Mile Railway, subscriptions, donations and pensions, repairs to mansion, park and lands in hand, establishment expences, gardens, hunt stables, carriage stables, deer park and game, kennels, stud farm, and the agricultural show, as well as promiscuous receipts and miscellaneous payments. -- A file of bank statements of Lord Tredegar's private account with the National Provincial Bank, 1951-1960, has been added to this series for convenience.

Daybooks of the cost of materials and labour in repairs carried out by the estate works, generally totalled at the end of each month. The accounts include a reference to the ledger account to which the individual items were assigned in the ledgers in ADY 1, initially mainly Miscellaneous Repairs and Tredegar House Repairs, but also including the accounts of other properties, including Alma Cottage and Craig-yr-haul. In later volumes the reference is reduced to ledger number and folio. A volume covering the period Nov. 1920-Sept. 1925 is missing between between ADY 3/1, 'Day book no. 1', and ADY 3/2, 'Day book 3'. ADY 3/2-3 are stamped 'Tredegar estate works, Rhiwderin'. The series ends with the July 1949 total.

These papers are unrelated to the Tredegar estate, having been accumulated by members of the Morgan family of Tredegar and their agents in the course of their public or private lives, or otherwise strayed into the Tredegar estate records. The bulk of the strays are client files of Henry F. W. Harries, the Brecon solicitor who acted as the agent for Tredegar's Breconshire estate (P 5/6). These files probably became mixed with the Tredegar material on the final dispersal of the Breconshire estate and the removal of the Breconshire estate records to Newport. Six other groups also all come from within the sphere of influence of the Tredegar estate, comprising the Monmouthshire commission of sewers, 1660-1792 (P 5/8), Newport assessments, 1700-1753 (P 5/7), Newport turnpike trust records, 1759-1880 (P 5/1), charity papers, 1772-1959 (P 5/2), St Woolloos rate book, 1875 (P 5/4), and Christchurch Highway Board letters received, 1880-1890 (P 5/5). The three files of Sussex vouchers, 1775-1776 (P 5/3), relate to an estate in the trusteeship of members of the Morgan family.
