Writ for the execution of a decree in Chancery brought by Sir Garrett Kempe and John Webbe, esq., complainants, against Sir William Morgan, John Twinihoe, gent., and Andrew Carter, defendants, concerning pastures called Clodder weare, Mills wharffe and Milleham, the pasture of Peterston, 32 a. of land lying in Estrewe called the Inne Land, one plot of meadow nigh money meade pille, a pasture called a wharffe alias Grynesline, and a pasture called Brodward, which premises are part of the manor of Ebbothe alias Grenefield. These lands had been leased for three lives in 1602 to William Twinihoe, gent. (see No. 36/2), and he in Nov. 1604 assigned the same to Sir John Webbe, father of the complainant, who in turn assigned them to the defendant, Carter, in trust for his son, John Webbe. But one Thomas Morgan and the defendant, Sir William Morgan, held a lease of the lands from the said William Twinihoe, for which they paid £22 per annum, which was handed over by Sir John Webbe to Carter as trustee for his son. This rent was paid till Michaelmas 1621, when the annual payments ceased. Carter subsequently, at the request of Webbe, the complainant, conveyed the land in 1629 to Lord Stowerton, now dec., and to Kempe, the other complainant, in trust for Webbe. But, unknown to Webbe, Carter released the lands to the defendant, Sir William Morgan, whose lease had long since expired, and who refused to make known the said lands or the bounds thereof but says in his second answer to the Bill that they are now called the Kinges Wharffe, which to the best of his knowledge meared with Kinges Wharffe pill, the ground in defendant's possession called the nine acres, the hooke lands, the hooke Wharffe, and the River of Uske. The Court was satisfied that the lands containing 83 a. were released, though Sir William Morgan knew of the trust. It is decreed, (1) that the complainant should hold the Kinges Wharffe and all the residue of the 83 a. of land for the term of the three lives (see No. 36/2), (2) Sir William Morgan should pay all the arrears of rent from Michaelmas 1621, (3) a commission should be appointed to delimit the lands called the Kinges Wharffe and all the residue of the lands in question, with power to abate so much of the 83 a. as has been wasted by the sea.

An account book of Tredegar estate timber sales. The volume contains annotated catalogues of annual auctions of coppice woods and timber trees in Monmouthshire and Glamorgan, and accounts of reserve prices, purchasers and prices realised. The last auction appears to have been in 1922, with no sales in 1921 or 1923. In 1924 the woods were sold privately.

Annual bundles of agreements and related papers for the sale of coppice woods and pit and cordwood, 1915-1920 and 1922, and bundles of collected years, 1924-1939. From 1924 most of the woodlands are sold privately rather than at auction.

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.
