FOREWORD
This collection, consisting of 571 items ranging in date from 1333 to 1891, was deposited in the library in 1954 by the widow of the late Mr. E. Thornton Jones, Glyn Garth, Anglesey, who for many years practiced as a solicitor in High Street, Bangor. It comprises deeds, presentments, bailiffs accounts, surveys, correspondence and miscellaneous papers relating to the manors and parishes of Whitney and Clifford in north west Herefordshire, an area which was originally part of Gwent. There is also a small group of deeds concerning properties in Hertfordshire, Middlesex and London. How or why such a collection ever found its way to the office of a Bangor solicitor remains a complete mystery, for there is nothing in the contents to indicate even the remotest connection with North Wales and Bangor in particular.
The manor of Whitney is stated to have been obtained by one Thurstin the Fleming, a companion of the Conqueror, who married Agnes, only child of Alured de Merleburgh, and their son, Eustace, assumed the name de Whitney from this manor. His descendant, Sir Eustace de Whitney, who was M.P. for Herefordshire in 1312-3, figures as party to the first deed in the collection, dated 1333; it was his grandson, Sir Robert de Whitney (see Nos. 3, 196, 197), who in 1402 received a grant of the castles and lordships of Clifford and Glasbury from Henry IV in consideration of the services of his father, the first Sir Robert, who was killed at the battle of Pilleth in 1401 while opposing the forces of Glyn Dwr.
Both manors together with other lands in the parishes of Winforton and Brilley remained in the posession of the Whitney family until the 1692-3, when William Wardour, of Lincoln's Inn and Westminster, Clerk of the Pells in Chancery, acquired by purchase the four equal shares in the estate which after the death without issue of Thomas Whitney, only surviving son of Sir Robert Whitney (d. 1653), had come to his sisters and co-heirs: Lucy,* wife of Robert Price of Bwlch y beudy, co. Denbigh; Susannah, widow of Henry Williams of Cabalva; Ann, widow of Thomas Rodd of Foxley; and Eleanor, widow of Dr Nathaniel Wright (see Nos. 383-94). William Wardour died in 1699 leaving his estate to his eldest son, Col. William Wardour, who, dying unmarried in 1746, left it to his only brother, Tomkyns Wardour. In 1767, by the will of Tomkyns's widow, the Whitney and Wardour property came to her sister, Mary Bourne of St. George's Hanover Square, Middlesex, who in turn left it to Tomkyns Dew of Lincoln's Inn, the first of three of that name who feature in this collection as lords of the manor of Whitney from 1780 to the close of the nineteenth century.
[An useful account of the Whitney family and of the devolution of the property will be found in : Collections towards the History and Antiquities of the County of Hereford in continuation of Duncumb's History: Hundred of Huntington, by Morgan G. Watkins (Hereford, 1897), pp. 77-96]
