Quotation (catalogue, verbatim): “DBDT121/3 Agreement (counterpart) for tenancy of farm land in the parish of Leckwith between Western Ground Rents Limited and William Samuel Coles [1 file, including plan] Oct 1944”.

Context in the same catalogue: DBDT121/2, Nov 1934: “Agreement (duplicate) for tenancy of Yniston Farm in the parish of Leckwith between Mountjoy Limited and William Samuel Coles [1 file, including plan]”. That the 1944 farm land is Yniston Farm is an inference only.

Proves: Nothing until seen. The catalogue shows WGR letting farm land in Leckwith parish by Oct 1944.

Does not prove: Any link to Llandough, Tŷ Mawr or Great House Farm. The catalogue names Leckwith parish only and gives no acreage or field names. Ownership of land next to the let land.
