Status

Earlier research notes describe the 1547 grant as a “1,000-year freehold”. The catalogue describes a lease for 1,000 years.

Corrected in this edition (see The Title: From Herbert to Bute).

Earlier notes give “Ken fin” as a Bute-record spelling and a 1392 “Cwm-Cedwyn” boundary record. Neither has been found in a source.

Open: marked SOURCE PENDING (see What We Can Reconstruct / What Is Still Missing).

The original wording of the 1547 lease and of the 1740 assignment has not been read; spellings come from the catalogues.

Open.
