[generalNote]: Hanes gweinyddol / Braslun bywgraffyddol | Administrative history | Biographical sketch Nodyn | Note The Salusbury family was established at Bachymbyd, Denbighshire, by John Salusbry, the fourth son of Thomas Salusbury of Lleweni (d. 1471). The family acquired the Rug estate in Merioneth following the marriage of John's eldest son, Piers, with Margaret Wen, daughter and heir of Ieuan ap Howel ap Rhys, lord of Corwen. Rug rather than Bachymbyd became the most important family seat, though most of the estate comprised the Bachymbyd portion around Ruthin in Denbighshire. The estate expanded further when Sir John Salusbry (d. 1580) acquired the lordship of Glyndyfrdwy. The entire estate was divided into two by William Salesbury following a bitter quarrel between him and his eldest son Owen over the latter's marriage to Mary, daughter of Gabriel Goodman of Abenbury, Flintshire. William split the estate between Owen, who received the Rug and Merioneth portion of the estate, and his second son, Charles, who received the Bachymbyd and Denbighshire portion. Charles Salusbury died without heirs and the Bachymbyd estate was inherited by his daughter Jane, who married Sir Charles Bagot of Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru = The National Library of Wales Tudalen | Page 3 GB 0210 BACBYD Bachymbyd Estate Records, Blithfield, Staffordshire, in 1670. Despite an attempt to reunite the two estates by Jane's nephew, William Salusbury, in the court of Chancery in the mid-1670s (which resulted in William's brother Gabriel fleeing to the continent for a while for procuring a forged deed) the estate remained in the hands of the Bagot family until most of it (17,500 acres) was sold in 1928. Sometime prior to 1723 the Bagot family acquired Pool Park, some three miles away from Bachymbyd, which eventually became the Bagot family's chief seat in Wales. For a century at least, the estate was administered in two units: Bachymbyd and Pool Park and, certainly by the time the estate was sold in 1928, the estate was known as Pool Park rather than Bachymbyd. Hanes Gwarchodol | Custodial history It appears that the Welsh portion of the Bagot estate archive was housed at Pool Park until it was sold in 1928 and the records transferred to Blithfield. Another part of the archive, almost all relating to the English estate, was held by Messrs Foyer, White and Prescott, the estate's London solicitors. These records were transferred to the National Library of Wales in 1942 after the firm's offices suffered bomb damage to be followed in the next two years by the records of the Welsh estate.
