Description
3. What is not known
2. What is known
Catalogue: GHF-E131 · Type: Conveyance with plan · Date of document: 31 December 1969 · Holder: not on the HMLR first-registration schedule of 30 July 2026; likely BP Properties, Linklaters or the BP Archive (Warwick Modern Records Centre) · Evidence status: MISSING known only as recited
DOCUMENTED FACT (recital). Later instruments recite it as the root of BP’s title (BP Properties and BP Pension Trust). The HMLR schedule lists 43 first-registration documents and this is not among them.
- Whether it conveys Parcel A, Parcel B or both, and under what description.
- What WGR said it was selling, given the 1939 plan shows Parcel B only (DBDT123/7) and no conveyance of Parcel A to WGR has been identified (E121).

Interpretation and wider context
UNRESOLVED. Its absence from the HMLR file is not itself evidence of concealment, since deeds were normally returned. Companion: E132; capture schedule FC-001.

High-level Cedwyn Estate theory cross-reference: The 31 December 1969 WGR–BP Pension Trust conveyance is a decisive title-chain control for the high-level Cedwyn Estate hypothesis. The original operative extent and plan must be compared with the 1938 WGR acquisition, the 1961 deed, the 1975 conveyance and the two first-registration plans. A date or missing schedule alone does not prove that the deed excluded Parcel A or was concealed. Read the Cedwyn Estate Working Theory.

Interpretation: working hypotheses
Working hypotheses, kept apart from the record above. The record text on this page is unchanged. None of these is a finding: each line is labelled as inference, theory, a reading that cuts against the case, or a discarded theory, and names the evidence it rests on and what would confirm or refute it, so the reader can test it. Updated 25 Oct 2026 (v2: ingredients wording).
The 1962 → 1974 → 1983 sequence
THEORY · I-01Working hypothesis on the sequence, set out as dated steps for the reader to test. 11 Dec 1962: possession order in Cardiff County Court (EV-0041); the 12-year period from that order ran to 11 Dec 1974. In the 1974 County Court action she pleaded that the claim was barred (EV-0049). 17–19 Sep 1974: BP Pension Trust sought and obtained leave to enforce the 1962 order (EV-0080). 31 Oct 1974: letters permitting her to stay rent-free for life (EV-0050); the Court of Appeal later held that from then on her possession was by licence and no longer adverse (EV-0080). 30 Nov 1982 and 23 Feb 1983: first-registration applications for the fields and for the farmhouse (EV-0059, EV-0065). The hypothesis is that these steps were connected, each taking occupation the family treated as ownership closer to a registered title. No document read so far shows them planned together; W-04 and the discarded entries below set out readings that cut against it.
Rests on: EV-0041 · EV-0049 · EV-0050 · EV-0080 · EV-0059 · EV-0065
Would be confirmed by: The 1974 County Court file and leave application (HMCTS reply due 2 Nov 2026) and the 1983 application papers (HM Land Registry subject access request, due 28 Oct 2026) showing the steps were planned as one course of action.
Would be refuted by: Records showing each step was a separate routine act with its own cause (for example, the 1982 internal BP conveyance arising from a group restructuring unrelated to the farm).
Status: Open
THEORY · I-03On 17–19 Sep 1974 BP Pension Trust obtained leave to enforce the 1962 order "as successors in title to Western Ground Rents", on two days' notice, while its own action against her was part-heard. The WGR → BP Pension Trust conveyance is not on either HM Land Registry first-registration file. Working hypothesis: succession to the 1962 order was asserted in court without the conveyance being produced.
Rests on: EV-0041 · EV-0043 · EV-0080 · EV-0161 · ground R4
Would be confirmed by: The 1974 leave application and its supporting affidavit showing what proof of succession was put to the court.
Would be refuted by: The 31 Dec 1969 conveyance, or a certified copy, on the 1974 court file or the 1982–83 registration files (HM Land Registry relied on recitals and a 1971 abstract, E21).
Status: Open (ground R4, scores a1 b3 c1 d1)
