Hillsborough Castle Demesne a Short Historical Account
NIHGC 2015 ANNUAL CONFERENCE Hillsborough Castle Demesne A short historical account By the late nineteenth century the Hill family, who had attained the title Marquess of Downshire, among many other noble titles, were one the largest landowners in Ireland with over 120,000 acres, of which around 70,000 were in County Down. The Hills were descended from Moyses Hill (c.1550-1630), a landless young gentleman from the West Country who came to Ireland in 1573 with Walter Devereux, first Earl of Essex, during the reign of Elizabeth. Moyses fought in various campaigns against the O'Neills, rising through the ranks to become Provost Marshall of Carrickfergus Castle and then Provost Marshall for Ulster (1617), in addition to being elected MP (1613) for Co. Antrim. For his services, he had been granted extensive estates in Ulster and had a number of residences, but it seems his main one was Hill Hall (Kinmuck), a strong house outside Lisburn, where he died in 1630, aged seventy-six. Among the lands that he purchased in County Down were eleven townlands from Brian Oge Magennis in the lordship of Kilwarlin in 1611, lands that included the former medieval settlement of Crumlin or Cromlyn, later Hillsborough. The Foundation of Hillsborough While the Small Park of Hillsborough Castle is essentially an 18 th century creation, it’s history goes back to medieval times, for this area, known as Crumlin or Cromlyn (crooked glen) was the focus of the early settlement, with an ancient church and the original Magennis family residence of the Kilwarlin lordship. The earliest reference to the church at Crumlin is from the 1306 Taxatio Ecclesiastica of Pope Nicholas IV where according to Reeves it can be identified as the chapel of Drumboe church, near Lisburn. -

Education Leaflet 1 R.M.S. TITANIC If the circumstances under which the launch took place can be accepted as an augury of the future, the TITANIC should be a huge success…’ Belfast Newsletter, 1 June 1911 Such were the expectations held of the R.M.S. TITANIC as she prepared to sail the trans-Atlantic route from Southampton to New York, calling on route at Cherbourg in northern France and Queenstown (now Cobh) on the south coast of Ireland. The great liner, built by Harland and Wolff Ltd. at the Queen’s Island shipyard in Belfast for the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company (commonly known as the White Star Line) was launched on 31 May 1911. Weighing in at 46,328 gross tons with a length of 852.5 foot she was, at the time, the largest ship ever built and considered practically unsinkable. Tragically, her maiden voyage, which began on 10 April 1912, was to end in disaster. On the night of 14 April at 11.40 p.m. RMS TITANIC struck an iceberg south of the Grand Banks. Less than three hours later, she sunk without trace. The captain, Edward V. Smith, went down with his ship, together with 1,503 passengers and crew. There were only 703 survivors. By the time S.S. CARPATHIA arrived at the scene of the disaster (at 4.10 a.m. on the morning of the 15th) there was only debris: a few deck chairs, some cork lifebelts and a body marked the spot where the great ship had gone down. Belfast is justifiably proud of being the TITANIC’S birthplace. -

Introduction Debating Tudor Policy in Ireland: the 'Reform'
• introduction • 1 • Introduction Debating Tudor policy in Ireland: The ‘reform’ treatises In the late 1580s the Elizabethan secretary of state, Francis Walsingham, no doubt had many guests to his study at his house at Seething Lane in the shadow of Tower Hill in London. As one of the most powerful ministers in the Tudor government and as head of the Elizabethan intelligence services these visitors would have ranged from high-ranking noblemen to agents in Walsingham’s spy network, often living on the fringes of society. Whatever the station of those who entered Walsingham’s study in these years they might well have glimpsed a small volume of papers lying on the secretary’s desk entitled ‘A Note of all the written bookes in the Chests or abroad’. This was a catalogue prepared by Walsingham’s private secretary, Thomas Lake, in 1588. In it were lists of documents along with reference numbers to the locations of these documents in much larger volumes, many of which would have been stored in ‘Chests’ elsewhere in the study or at court. This index was organised thematically, with separate sections listing, for example, documents relating to Scotland, to the war in the Low Countries, and to Ireland. The latter section was particularly long, occupying some twenty folios.1 Much of this listed doc- uments relating to the revenues of Ireland, while the catalogue also indicated that Walsingham had large portfolios of papers in his study on the establish- ment of a presidential council in Munster and the recent ‘cess’ controversy. But the most striking aspect of the Irish section of this index was the number of references to policy papers or treatises on the political state of Ireland and how to ‘reform’ the second Tudor kingdom.2 By the time this index, now termed Walsingham’s ‘Table Book’ and housed in the British Library as Stowe MS 162, was drawn up in the 1580s a great many treatises had been written on the thorny question of Ireland. -
