(TABLE XIII) • INTRODUCTION •• 'And I but think and speak and do As my dead fathers move me to.' R. L. STEVENSON. THE Engli~h Civil War of 1641-49 was essentially a_ people's· war; it was not fought by rival royal houses, nor by reb~llious Barons marshalling their f~udal re­ tainers. The questions that divided King Charles and his parliament touched .the life of every Englis~man~ and there was hardly an English family that did not take its share in the struggle. The names of the leaders are familiar as household words ; but many soldiers now rest forgotten in their ' camps of gr:een_' who had their share in winning the freedom that has been handed down to us. In telling the story of one of these forgotten worthies, it is hardly possible to separate private from public history, however slightly qualified a genealogist may be to make excursions into that dangerously fascinating field. In truth, we know but little of the private life of Colonel Richard Townesend: public records tell of his public services, and we 'must guess the rest. His descendants; who have left portraits and lette~s behind thein which make us more familiar with their home life, were prominent leaders in the south-west of Munster, ... Vlll INTRODUCTION. a -country to which we may apply Professor Freeman's description o( South Wales, ' The land_ was conquered, divided, to a large extent it was settled, but its former inhabitants were neither destroyed, expelled, nor assimi­ lated, . genealogy and family history connect them­ selves_ more with real history in a district of this sort than elsewhere.' From time to time different members of the Towns­ hend family in County Cork have begun to draw up some account of their ancestors ; but all the memoirs have remained unfinished, and it has fallen to the present editors to try to collect the scattered records and traditions of the line. It is very difficult to avoid errors when drawing up a sketch of such a scattered family, whose history runs through so many troubled ye~rs ; but if these frag-­ mentary records induce any other members of the family to correct the mistakes they contain, or to collect new information, the labours of the editors will be amply rewarded. There js some danger that a family history may resemble a collection of epitaphs ; and it may be fairly asked, 'Where are all the bad Townshends?' To rake up old sins and gibbet the· failings of fore­ fathers is not a very grateful or honourable task, and it is even less necessary to do it in Ireland than else­ where, for facts there speak as plainly as written words. The Protestant.settlers formed a proud and powerful oligarchy, who did very much what seemed right in their own eyes. Those who fell to drinking, gambling, and self-indulgence, very -soon died out altogether. INTRODUCTION. IX Natural selection had free play, and punished promptly and surely, :and only the fit survived. The fit were not always characters that would pre­ cisely suit the nineteenth-century ideals of excellence : undoubtedly they too often shared the faults of their times ; but their virtues were their own. It is idle to expect the men of one time or country to match the model of another; but, speaking roughly,. the families that have survived the days of reoellion and famine are descended from ancestors who were respectable, honourable, and intelligent gentlemen, who served their generation to the best of their ability. The unfit dropped out: for example, one family of Elizabethan settlers has left nothing but its name be­ hind it. Its members were once among the principal gentry of the West, yet the story goes, when money was granted by the grand jury to them for improving the highways, they used to lay the coins in rows on the ground, and call on the passers-by to swear that they had seen the money laid out on the road ! The last of their name lived in a little cabin by the road side, and when a child from the neighbouring big house peeped in one day, the old lady, for a lady she was in manners and appearance, said, 'Ah, my dear, are you looking for a bit of bread ? Not a bit have I in the house.' But queer stories may be told of most of the old families. It was a jolly, free and easy !ife, that was led in the last century, and the reckless ' Castle Rackrent' ways brought many a fine property into the Encum­ bered Estates Court. X INTRODUCTION. One very hospitable Mrs. Townsend loved to keep open house, and when carload after· carload of cousins were seen driving up the avenue, an astonished English visitor askecl the hostess where she could possibly bestow so many guests. ' Ah! ' she answered, ' I needn't trouble at all. I've a very obliging cook and a very accommodating butler, and they'll each take two or three in their beds.' All were not so hospitable, and the opposite extreme from this good old lady was a Mr. Townsend, who had a fine place, entered · by a beautiful avenue of trees. One day a friend met him, and said, ' I was caught in a storm the other day near your house, and I sheltered under that- big oak in the avenue.' 'Ah, now, 'tis a pity you stopped there,' exclaimed Mr. Townsend, 'if only you 'd gone twenty yards fur.th er down the road you'd have found a much thicker tree! ' The younger members of the large families naturally had not much money to spare ; . one young Townsend, it is said, could get no funds to take him to college, , but was so determined to go that he rode all the way up to Dublin, feeding his horse on th~ grass by the road sides as he went. In the more remote parts of the country, life was often not merely poor, but rough and squalid.. There is a story of a great lady, visiting her rector, a Townsend, and being asked to wait i~ the parlour, she sat there till her patience was nearly exhausted, when a bare­ footed girl burst into the room exclaiming, .' M usha, then, did you see the master's razors anywhere?' The great lady thought that it might be some time before . INTRODUCTION. XI Mr. Townsend's toilet was completed, and said she would call another day. In a family that numbered several hundred members it could not be hoped that all should succeed in resist­ ing the attractions offered by the wild, jovial life of their less educated neighbours. In parts where there was not much choice· of society, the talents and charm which ought to have enabled their possessors to take a high position sometimes proved a curse, and sank them to the level of the peasantry around them. One yotJng Townsend tried in vain to coax enough of money out of his mother to take to the races, but the old lady was obdurate ; at last he seemed to give it up, and changed the subject. ' Mother,' said he,·' did you see the new white cow I 've brought back from the fair? she's the greatest cow between this and Cork!' Mrs. Townsend was curious. 'Come ·along,' said he, and they crossed the farm-yard, and he opened the door of the shed. The old lady went a step inside, when the door banged behind her, and she found• that her dutiful son had left her face to face with a great bull. In vain. did she rage and entreat ; the door was kept fast till she had handed the key of her money-box out through ·a chink, and then at last she was released.· A wild and lonely life was led by many of the gentry in the isolated country houses on the western sea-coast. Small profits were made by farming, and it seemed as though the English Government levied duties on· im­ ports for the special purpose of ruining Irish trade. No wonder that when a French ship was seen weather­ bound in the offing, a cow was often hoisted in!o a boat .

By the end of the 18th century, the government of the day decided that it needed a building to house courts and so, in 1800, the noted architect, James Gandon, having just completed the Four Courts complex, was commissioned to design the present buildings on Constitution Hill. Henceforward, these would be the headquarters of the Benchers and the School of Law. The primary focus of the school is the training of barristers. The Honourable Society of King’s Inns comprises benchers, barristers and students. The benchers include all the judges of the Supreme and High Courts and a number of elected barristers. The School of Law is the oldest institution of professional legal education in Ireland. Its reputation is international with a long list of eminent graduates including former presidents of Ireland and of other countries, politicians and, of course, judges and barristers in practice throughout the English speaking world.

  • Intermarriage and Other Families This Page Shows the Interconnection
    Intermarriage and Other Families This page shows the interconnection between the Townsend/Townshend family and some of the thirty-five families with whom there were several marriages between 1700 and 1900. It also gives a brief historical background about those families. Names shown in italics indicate that the family shown is connected with the Townsend/Townshend elsewhere. Baldwin The Baldwin family in Co Cork traces its origins to William Baldwin who was a ranger in the royal forests in Shropshire. He married Elinor, daughter of Sir Edward Herbert of Powys and went to Ireland in the late 16th century. His two sons settled in the Bandon area; the eldest brother, Walter, acquired land at Curravordy (Mount Pleasant) and Garrancoonig (Mossgrove) and the youngest, Thomas, purchased land at Lisnagat (Lissarda) adjacent to Curravordy. Walter’s son, also called Walter, was a Cromwellian soldier and it is through his son Herbert that the Baldwin family in Co Cork derives.

  • Sustainable Management of Tourist Attractions in Ireland: the Development of a Generic Sustainable Management Checklist
    SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN IRELAND: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GENERIC SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT CHECKLIST By Caroline Gildea Supervised by Dr. James Hanrahan A dissertation submitted to the School of Business and Humanities, Institute of Technology, Sligo in fulfilment of the requirements of a Master of Arts (Research) June 2012 1 Declaration Declaration of ownership: I declare that this thesis is all my own work and that all sources used have been acknowledged. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis centres on the analysis of the sustainable management of visitor attractions in Ireland and the development of a tool to aid attraction managers to becoming sustainable tourism businesses. Attractions can be the focal point of a destination and it is important that they are sustainably managed to maintain future business. Fáilte Ireland has written an overview of the attractions sector in Ireland and discussed how they would drive best practice in the sector. However, there have still not been any sustainable management guidelines from Fáilte Ireland for tourist attractions in Ireland. The principal aims of this research was to assess tourism attractions in terms of water, energy, waste/recycling, monitoring, training, transportation, biodiversity, social/cultural sustainable management and economic sustainable management. A sustainable management checklist was then developed to aid attraction managers to sustainability within their attractions, thus saving money and the environment. Findings from this research concluded that tourism attractions in Ireland are not sustainably managed and there are no guidelines, training or funding in place to support these attraction managers in the transition to sustainability. Managers of attractions are not aware or knowledgeable enough in the area of sustainability.

We are truly living in strange and bewildering times.

  • Ashton Patriotic Sublime.5.Pdf (9.823Mb)
    commercial spaces like theaters, and to performances spanning the gamut from the solemn, to the joyous. This diversity encompassed celebrations outside the expected calendar of national days. Patriotic sentiment was even a key feature of events celebrating the economic and commercial expansion of the new nation. The commemorative celebration for the laying of the foundation-stone of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the “great national work which is intended and calculated to cement more strongly the union of the Eastern and the Western States,” took place on July 4, 1828.1 It beautifully illustrated the musical ties that bound different spaces together – in this case a parade route, a temporary outdoor civic space, and the permanent space of the Holliday Street Theatre. Organizers chose July Fourth for the event, wishing to signal civic pride and affective patriotism. Baltimore filled with visitors in the days before the celebration, so that on the morning of the Fourth the “immense throng of spectators…filled every window in Baltimore-street, and the pavement below….fifty thousand spectators, at least, must have been present.” The parade was massive and incorporated a great diversity of groups, including “bands of music, trades, and other bodies.” One focal point was a huge model, “completely rigged,” of a naval vessel, the “Union,” complete with uniformed sailors. Bands playing patriotic tunes were interspersed amongst the nationalist imagery on display: militia uniforms, banners emblazoned with patriotic verse, national flags, eagle figures, shields, and more. Charles Carrollton, one of the last surviving signers of the Declaration of Independence, gave the main public address at the site, accompanied by a march composed for the occasion, the “Carrollton March” (see Figure 2.4).
