Scope and content
Title deeds, letters and legal papers relating to a dispute between Walter Pryse on behalf of George Lewis Langton, and John Philipps of Kilgetty, 1726-1743, concerning the title to the Paddock, the Old Slate House, etc. near the beach at Saundersfoot in the parish of St Issells. The papers include drafts and copies of earlier leases, deeds and disputes, 1622-1683. The letters are addressed to the Lewis family of Hurst and Coedmor, and to Walter Pryse in Holborn, London, mainly from lawyers and agents, 1701-1743; one of them justifies an attempted salvage from a shipwreck at Freshwater East, 1729. There are statements of the claims on both sides, describing the construction of a quay by Walter Pryse, with a pictorial map of the area in dispute [1726]; evidence of boundaries and rights in the lordships of Coydrath and East and West Pembroke, and a copy of the chief rent roll for the latter, 1738
