Rad.), Hay-on-Wye, Llandyfaelog Fach, Llanddew, Llan-faes, Llanfihangel Nant Bran, Llanfilo, Llansbyddyd, Llys-wen, Llywel, Maesmynys, Merthyr Cynog, Penderyn, St David, and Vaynor.

Buying and selling property

Papers relating to the purchase and sale of property by the Tredegar estate in Breconshire. Most of the papers relate to the series of Breconshire sales of 1915.

Glamorgan collection books,

Collection books record money as it is received. This information is later transferred to the appropriate audit books, rent ledgers and other accounts. Consequently collecton books do not usually contain any unique information, and frequently do not survive as complete series.

Correspondence,

Tredegar estate correspondence, arranged into copy letter books, 1869-1905 (AEC 1), two series of letters received, 1794-1939 (AEC 2-3), and a series of notices of assignments of leases, mortgages etc., 1900-1906 (AEC 4).

Woodland management records

Records relating to the management of the estate's woodlands, and the sale of trees and coppice for timber, cordwood, bark, poles and smart hoops. Although individual sales often related to woodlands within a single county, the woodlands appear to have been at least semi-detatched from the administration of the individual county-based estates, at least in the case of Monmouthshire and Glamorgan. All records relating specifically to the estate's woodlands have therefore been gathered together here for convenience.

Breconshire estate financial records

Financial records of the Breconshire estate, comprising rentals (called audit books by the Tredegar estate), 1758-1927, draft and copy audit books, 1872-1915, farm rent ledgers, 1867-1921, Palleg, Brecon and Dderw estate rent ledgers, 1867-1941, rent collection books, 1868-1937, cash books, 1864-1940, surveyor's bills, 1862-1890, employee records, 1889-1935, taxation records, 1910-c.1936, and vouchers, 1850-1938.

Monmouthshire tithe administration records

The tithe records mainly relate to the Basaleg rectory tithe collection, 1743-1804, including the Basaleg hamlets of Dyffryn Lower, Dyffryn Higher, Graig and Rogerstone, and the parishes of Coedcernyw, Henllys, Risca and St Brides, and the Mynyddislwyn and Bedwellte tithe collection, 1790-1839. The two collections appear to have been merged in about 1862. -- The Basaleg, Mynyddislwyn and Bedwellty tithe rental for 1844 (formerly Tredegar MSS 465), is not found.

Tredegar home farm,

Records of the Tredegar demense, which before the development of the Rhiwderyn estate works c.1900 (see ADY) was accounted responsible for at least some of the landlord's work on tenanted properties. Also records of the Tredegar granary, 1816-1848 (ADU /4, 6), Lord Tredegar's stud farm at Coedcernyw, 1825-1901 (ADU /7), and estate employees, 1882-1907 (ADU /11).
