Biographical history
The earliest surviving rental of 'Ground Rents of Holdings at Tredegar Iron Works' begins in 1891. The fact that arrears are noted suggests that there was an earlier volume or volumes, although the label on the spine proclaims 'Ground Rent Ledger No. 1'. Holdings are arranged by the 'No. of Lease', with numbers up to 102 in 1891, to 901 in 1906 and to 1330 in 1918.
The 'Tredegar Town Rents Account' volumes continue until 1918, the 'Tredegar Town' rents being incorporated in the Monmouthshire town estate in 1919 (AMA 6). What may be described as Tredegar Town agricultural rents go the the Monmouthshire agricultural estate (AMA 5). The Tredegar Garden Rents appear in the Monmouthshire town estate summary accounts only, as a total sum transferred from a separate series of rentals or collection books.

Note
The volume for 1917, although present when a preliminary list was prepared c.1962, was not found when an attempt at listing the Tredegar volumes was made in the late 1980s; a number has been allocated to this volume, in the expectation that it come to light.
