    The 1626 Rental of Thomond Property by Martin Breen

    North Munster Antiquarian Journal vol. 54, 2014 1 The 1626 Rental of Thomond Property MARTIN BREEN A 1626 document listing the rents due to the 5th Earl of Thomond (1589- 1639) is transcribed and published for the first time. It sheds valuable light on the Anglicisation process in the early seventeenth century and in par- ticular helps in understanding the process of transition of Thomond from a Gaelic lordship to an increasingly anglicised county under the stewardship of the Earls of Thomond.* Introduction A document titled: ‘An abstract Of Such Rents and Revenewes as doe belonge to the right Hon:ble. Henrye Earle of Thomond’, dated 1626, can be found at Petworth House Archives, West Sussex, filed as manuscript C27A/39.1 Petworth House is the seat of the Earl of Egremont and the Thomond material deposited there most likely owes its origin to Barnabas O’Brien, sixth Earl of Thomond, who left Bunratty Castle, Co. Clare, in 1646 and settled at Great Billing in Northamptonshire, an estate which he had acquired in 1628.2 Barnabas’s son Henry succeeded in 1657 as seventh earl, inheriting his father’s Irish estate in Thomond which by 1665 amounted to 85,000 acres in County Clare.3 Barnabas’s grandson, also Henry O’Brien, eighth Earl of Thomond, continued to live at Great Billing and died without issue in 1741. The Thomond estates then passed to Percy Wyndham, a nephew of the latter Henry O’Brien’s wife, Elizabeth Seymour.4 The title, Earl of Thomond (of the 2nd creation), became extinct in 1774 on Percy’s death, and, as he also died without an heir, his nephew George Wyndham, third Earl of Egremont,5 succeeded to the estates.

    Cahiracon House Feasibility Study 2019

    Cahiracon House Feasibility Study 2019 Commissioned by The Planning Department, Clare County Council Co-Funded by The Heritage Council and Clare County Council Produced by Alan Hill Tourism Development Ltd. In association with John Ruddle Consulting and Richard Rice, Healy Partners Architects. Contact Information: [email protected] 00353 +873207619 Executive Summary This Study was commissioned by the Planning Department, Clare County Council and was co -funded by the Heritage Council and Clare County Council. The aim of the research project was to provide consultancy services and undertake the feasibility study on Cahiracon House to examine the heritage resource, value and potential of Cahiracon House and surrounding grounds, having regard to the surrounding maritime landscape. The project was completed during May to October 2019, and is an action under the Clare County Heritage Plan 2017-2023. This work has to be seen through a number of different lenses: The House and grounds are in private ownership; The architectural importance and heritage of this nationally significantly building; The genuine affection the local community have for Cahiracon largely grounded in its days as a much admired secondary school; The potential multiple commercial uses for the broad campus into the future and; Cahiracon in the context of the Shannon Estuary and wider development strategies for the region; The Heritage value of the site, the buildings on the site and the Cultural Heritage surrounding its previous uses. Considerable attention was placed on 'listening' to the reminiscences and hopes that the community of the greater Kildysart area have for the site. The engagement was considerable culminating in a special Cahiracon focused Heritage Week Event on 22nd August 2019.
