We confirm Bute X.6(12) is still held here but found no information about the property; our manuscript index showed no matches. Scanning would need to go through Glamorgan Archives at a cost, and detailed research would also carry a charge once assessed; an in-person visit is also possible.
“couldn't find any information about the property you are researching”
