Administrative / biographical background

An Establishment Group had existed in the Welsh Office since its inception in 1966 and a Personnel Management Division had existed from this time. Cadw: Welsh Historic Monuments was created in 1983 as part of the Welsh Office and replaced the former Ancient Monuments and Historical Buildings Division. Both of the latter were created under the Establishment Group. Cadw became a Next Steps Agency in 1991.
