AdminHistory | The entry of the lease of Tyddyn Cilfechydd to William ap William is known to be dated 21 May, 1545 (docts. 233-235) and that Jeffrey Lewis, one of the canons of Bangor, another lessee mentioned in the list died in 1560, which points to 1550 as a somewhat likely date. The fifth on the list is a fee-farm demised to Ieuan ap Meredith ap Dicus on Y ty duy in lloyne dayadore, 33/4 a year - a somewhat curious bit of nomenclature. Bangor, Cororion, Bodvaio, and Dinorwic are included. The "30th Henry 8" (i.e., 1538-1539) on the dorse in a modern hand is manifestly wrong, in the face of the exact date of the Cilfechydd docts (1545). |
