Hanes gweinyddol / Braslun bywgraffyddol | Administrative history | Biographical sketch

Nodyn | Note The Plas Power estate was established in the early seventeenth century, and eventually comprised lands in Denbighshire, Merionethshire, Flintshire, Cheshire, Montgomeryshire, Shropshire and Lancashire. Its focal point was the area around Wrexham, especially the townships of Bersham, Esclusham and Minera, where there were thriving collieries, quarries and mineral works. Ownership of the estate passed through the hands of several families, none of them holding on to it for more than a few generations. The nucleus of the estate appears to have been established by Sir Henry Power, an Irish landowner who was at Bersham in 1620, but by the end of the century his grandson, John Power, had moved to Dover, Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru = The National Library of Wales Tudalen | Page 3 GB 0210 PLASPOWER Plas Power Estate Records and Papers, and the lands in Bersham were sold to William Fownes of Dublin. In 1733, the Plas Power estate was sold to Mary Myddelton, daughter of Sir Richard Myddelton of Chirk Castle. Plas Power was thereby added to the estates that Mary Myddelton had already inherited from her mother, Frances Whitmore, which she held separately from the Chirk estate. The Plas Power estate now included Bersham, Minera, Broughton, Brymbo and Esclusham (all in Denbighshire) and Bodfari (Flintshire), many of which were rich in mineral deposits. From 1720, the sitting tenant at Plas Power was Rev. Thomas Lloyd, whose mother was Elizabeth Myddelton of the Plas Cadwgan branch of the Chirk family; he had been tutor at Chirk under Richard Myddelton, served Mary Myddelton as chaplain, and also acted on behalf of both of them in estate matters throughout his life. Mary Myddelton never lived at Plas Power herself, preferring to stay at Croes Newydd, near Wrexham, where she moved in 1719. On Thomas Lloyd's death in 1734, therefore, his son, William, succeeded him as the sitting tenant at Plas Power, and on Mary Myddelton's death in 1747 she bequeathed Plas Power to him, also making him a trustee of the Chirk estate; links between Plas Power and Chirk remained close for many years, resulting in the presence of many Chirk papers from all periods in this archive. William Lloyd's second son, also named William, succeeded him at Plas Power, and on his death without issue in 1816 the estate passed to his nephew, Thomas FitzHugh, son of Thomas FitzHugh of Portland Place, Marylebone, London, and Mary, the sister of William Lloyd (junior). Plas Power remained in the possession of the FitzHugh family, who also held lands in Middlesex and Essex, until the twentieth century, and eventually passed to Thomas’s great-grandson, Lieutenant Colonel G. E. FitzHugh.

Hanes Gwarchodol | Custodial history The archive was kept at Plas Power until the bulk of it was transferred in 1970 to NLW, which had already bought a number of literary manuscripts from the house. This initial deposit was purchased by the Library in 1974, and smaller deposits were made subsequently.

Natur a chynnwys | Scope and content

Estate, financial, legal, personal, domestic, industrial and commercial papers of the several families who held the Plas Power estate, notably the Myddeltons, Lloyds and FitzHughs, including some papers relating to the Myddelton family of Chirk and their estates.

Trefniant | Arrangement Arranged at NLW into four groups: estate records; letters; family papers; and public administration. Because of the close relationship between the various branches of the Myddelton and Lloyd families and their households during the lifetime of Mary Myddelton, whose household at Croes Newydd included a number of individuals closely associated with Chirk, it has not always been possible to disentangle the provenance of some documents with absolute certainty. Furthermore, because of the variety of ways in which the documents were created and accumulated, it has not proved practical to create a separate group of Chirk Castle papers; care has been taken, however, to identify such documents where appropriate. Further details are given at the appropriate levels of description. Often, an attempt has been made to list files in chronological order, but occasionally anomalies arise where a file contains material that overlaps chronologically with neighbouring files; in such cases, the file is placed in the position that best represents the bulk of its contents.

Some of these papers had been partially arranged before cataloguing, but there was no consistent pattern, and in any case much of the material was mixed with other papers.

Trefniant | Arrangement: Arranged by county. Where deeds relate to lands or persons in more than one county, they have been filed under the county with which the agreement is predominantly concerned. Original bundles of

Letters, including copies and drafts of letters, to members of the Lloyd and Myddelton families and households at or concerning both Plas Power and Chirk, together with some addressed to members of the Fownes family, relating to administrative, legal and financial estate and household business, as well as family and personal matters, with occasional references to politics. While the relationship of some recipients to either Plas Power or Chirk is clear, there are many cases where it is complicated or unclear. From 1720, Plas Power was rented by Rev. Thomas Lloyd, who was the sitting tenant there until his death in the following year. Meanwhile, Mary Myddelton left Chirk Castle in 1719 and rented Croes Newydd, where she lived for the rest of her life, despite purchasing Plas Power in 1733. In 1734, Thomas Lloyd was succeeded as the tenant at Plas Power by his son, William, to whom Mary Myddelton bequeathed the estate on her death in 1747.
