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.
