Estate rentals pre-1772. See also Wynnstay MS 86 (described elsewhere in this hierarchical structure with the other Wynnstay MSS) for early accounts and rentals (1300/1 onwards). Since this rental was deposited at NLW some years before the arrival of the main series of rentals and has been known as Wynnstay MS 86 for many years, it was deemed best not to alter this reference number, and not to include the volume in the general series of Wynnstay Rentals.

Estate rentals 1804-1899. Since, by 1808/9, the Wynnstay estate was more or less fully grown, each indentifiable unit in this group has been treated separately (although the rents might be gathered by the same collector). In many cases (e.g. Manor of Cyfeiliog chief rents), details concerning a particular estate will be found in one continuous list from 1808 to 1899. However, many estates were brought together in the re-arrangement of the system which took place during the early 1860s. In 1885, another change occurred following the death of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, 6th bart. The collections or estates are arranged as follows: (1) Arwystli collection, 1808-1898; (2) Arwystli chief rents, 1804-1898; (3) Manor of Cyfeiliog, 1809-1861; (4) Manor of Cyfeiliog chief rents, 1808-1899; (5) Llwydiarth estate, 1809-1861; (6) Llangedwyn collection, 1809-1861; (7) Llansilin collection, 1809-1860; (8) Lordship/Manor of Cynllaith Owain chief rents 1808-1896; (9) Glan-llyn estate, 1809-1898; (10) Much Wenlock collection, 1810-1858; (11) Oswestry/Llanforda estate, 1809-1860; (12) Vale of Clwyd/Ruthin estate, 1809-1898; (13) Maenan lordship, 1809-1857; (14) Wynnstay collection, 1810-1860; (15) Trefarclawdd and Overley Hall Colliery payments, 1809-1822; (16) 'Rental, Freehold Property', 1813-1821; (17) Llanfair Caereinion tithes, 1815-1861; (18) Llwynymaen estate, 1839-1854; (19) Wynnstay fee farm rents, 1860-1898; (20) Farm and cottage rents, 1863-1898; (21) Encroachments in the manors of Cyfeiliog and Arwystli, 1874-1898; (22) 'Rents for Sporting', 1874-1899; (23) Mine rents and royalties, 1877-1898.
