Our integration

Cardiff Central Library's calendar of the Bute documents in its manuscript collection (Bute I–XLI). Library staff confirmed that Bute X.6(12) is still held, found nothing about the property in the manuscript index, and offered an in-person visit. Scans are only available through Glamorgan Archives, for a fee.

Why it matters: it is the map of what survives of the Bute estate papers in Cardiff. It shows which series could hold a Llandough farm sale or lease before 1938.

What cuts against the case: the library looked and found no match. Most of the calendar covers docks, railways and minerals rather than farm tenancies.
