Details of extant records on Archives Network Wales for the following;
- Ynyspenllwch estate papers 1801-1996 "The Ynyspenllwch Estate was a compact estate situated in the parish of
Llangyfelach, Glamorgan, bounded by the River Clydach to the west and the Tawe
to the south, with Gellionen Mountain and Craig Trebanos at the north and east. Trebanos and much of the present town of Clydach are
built on the estate lands. The Ynyspenllwch estate was originally a part of the
Gnoll Estate, the property of the Mackworth family. The Miers family moved to
Wales in the 18th century, settling at Vernon House in the 1760s, and later
acquiring the Cadoxton Lodge Estate. The executors of the will of John Miers the
younger bought the Ynyspenllwch estate from the widow of Sir Robert Mackworth of
Gnoll, Molly Ann Mackworth, formerly Miers............................................"
- Ynyspenllwch estate papers 1780-1875 "The Miers' family moved into the Glamorgan area first to Neath c. 1736
and then leased Vernon House in c. 1760. The first John Miers is cited as
being of Cannon Street, London, Mitcham, Surrey, and of New Barnstable Hall.
They settled at Cadoxton Lodge, Glamorgan, with his son Nathaniel inheriting the
estate following the death of John Miers. His early death resulted in the estate
passing via his brother John to Nathaniel's son John Nathaniel. The Miers'
estate centred mainly in Ynyspenllwch and
occupied a compact area situated in the parish of Llangyfelach, Glamorgan. The
Ynyspenllwch estate originally formed part of the
Gnoll estate, Neath, Glamorgan, before passing into the hands of the Miers
family. Molly Ann (daughter of John Nathaniel Miers or Nathaniel Miers) married
Robert Humphrey Mackworth of Gnoll and inherited the estate on his death.
Shortly after, the estate was purchased by the executors of John Miers the
younger [c.1799-1800]. The connections with the Gnoll estate continued, however,
with the brothers Richard H. Miers of Ynyspenllwch and Capel Miers of Drumma both acting as
Gnoll estate agents"
