The series comprises printed material accumulated by the Morgan family and printed public notices accumulated by the Tredegar estate.

Also a few printed items, including the rules, report and members of the Welsh Leghorn and Minorca Club, 1906 (filed under letter A), and the schedule for the Tredegar poultry show, 1907 (also filed under letter A). Most of the letters are dated September, October and November of the particular year.

Deeds relating to premises in various Monmouthshire parishes, accounts of smelting pig iron, furnaces and forges, lieutenancy and justice of the peace, Breconshire and Montgomeryshire.

Poll books, bor. of Brecon, 1727, Glamorgan, 1745, Breconshire, 1754, Trelleck and Raglan hundred, 1771, and deeds, lands in St. Giles Cripplegate, London, Newport, Bassaleg, Machen, Peterstone, Risca, etc.

Breconshire and Monmouthshire election papers, 1740-1771, including Glamorgan poll book, 1734; poll book of Norwich, 1768; Herefordshire, 1774, Gloucester, 1776, and deeds relating to premises in Llanfihangel juxta Roggiet, Bassaleg, Newport, etc.

Probate records, receipts re London estate, papers of Sir Charles Gould as chancellor of the diocese of Salisbury, papers re Trematon estate.

Ledgers of materials, wages and other expences of repairs carried out by the estate works, arranged under properties. The items in the accounts are forwarded from the Rhiwderyn estate works daybooks (ADY 3). Many of the minor accounts remain in the same volume for the life of the volumes, but the 'Miscellaneous Rep[air]s' account is forwarded from ADY 1/2 (July 1914-Aug. 1915) to ADY 1/3 (Aug. 1915-Nov. 1918) to ADY 1/4 (Dec. 1918-June 1921) to ADY 1/5 (July 1921-July 1924) to ADY 1/6 (Aug. 1924-May 1927), which is probably a good indication of when the successive volumes were started. The pages beyond the last page of miscellaneous repairs for May 1927 have been torn out of the volume, presumably signalling either the start of a new volume that is now lost. ADY 1/2-6 were originally numbered 1-5. Ledgers 6-8 appear to be lost. ADY 1/8 is ledger no. 9, covering the years 1946-1953. -- ADY 1/7 is intitled 'Ledger. Glam. 1', and the fly-leaf is stamped 'Tredegar estate works, Rhiwderin'. This book also contains ledger accounts of wages and materials, apparently expended on properties belonging to the estate. Most of the accounts include an element '20% overhead charges', perhaps suggesting that the work was done by estate workers. A number of the accounts are continued in Monmouthshire volumes, eg, 'Forward to 8/260' (fo. 213, A. G. Ellis, Cold Cefn Cottage, Lower Machen), 'Folio Mon. 7/87' (fo. 228, T. Llewellyn, Tai Mawr, Lisvane) and 'Mon. folio 7/168' (fo. 253, W. T. Ackland, Ruperra Park Wall Cottage), presumably referring to the lost volumes.
