Notes: The Schools Collection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following excerpt has been taken from the Schools Collection which is essentially a gathering of local folklore that Irish school children were asked to compile during the 1930\u00e2\u20ac™s. The following story describes the landlord and the townlands he lorded over, including Fostra (Fostragh)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transcribed from the above story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Landlord.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Landlord for this district was Mr. George McConkey. He had an agent and a Bailiff. Their names were Edgworth and Navan. They owned fifteen townlands. The names of the townlands were Moyne, Legga, Aughamore, Annagh, Kiltcon, Garvary, Corinagh, Commagh, Fostra, Edenmore, Glenmore, Rathmore, Gaigue, Killmahon, Cornaphuncion and Clonelly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to tradition the Landlord lived first in Rathmore. The track of the Avenue is still to be seen there. His coachman was shot at night and the Landlord left the next day. The bailiff had the use of the land after that until it was sold over to the Land Commission. He had a plantation of oak planted there and he gave it over to the tenants at the time of the sale. It is called the Big House Land yet.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a Protestant Landlord but he was a good sort. He never paid to the Emergency Fund. The agents and Bailiffs were worse than the Landlord. He had a big supply of bog and he gave it free to his tenants and he put Trustees over it. The rent of my father’s farm was five Pounds that time and it is only \u00c2\u00a31-10s.-0d. now. The Landlord gave an abatement of four shillings in the pound.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
