Dates: [1750]-31 December 1969

Level of Description: Fonds

Extent: 208 boxes

Creator Creators: Lismore Estate, Irish Estates of the Dukes of

Devonshire

Administrative History: Lismore Castle was the seat of the Dukes of

Devonshire in Ireland. William, the 4th

Duke of

Devonshire (1720-1764) married Lady Charlotte

Boyle (1731-1754), heiress of the 3rd

Earl of

Burlington and through this marriage the Irish estate

mainly situated in counties Waterford and Cork

became part of the estates of the Dukes of

Devonshire. The Irish estates were administered

from Lismore Castle, Lismore, County Waterford

by agents living and working from Lismore Castle

and responsible for all the Irish estates of the Dukes

of Devonshire with a sub-agent located in Bandon

to administer the lands and properties located in the

areas surrounding Bandon in county Cork.

The seat of the Dukes of Devonshire is Chatsworth

in Derbyshire, England. The Dukes visited Lismore

on occasion, in particular, to hunt and fish but were

not permanent residents of Lismore Castle. Instead,

the estate was administered by agents who were

closely supervised by the Dukes of Devonshire

through a series of detailed and, in some cases,

daily, correspondence.

During the period covered by these papers there

were a number of holders of the title of Duke of

Devonshire who held the Lismore estates. William

Cavendish, 5th

Duke of Devonshire (1748-1811)

who married Lady Georgiana Spencer; William

Spencer Cavendish, the 6th

Duke (1790-1858),


3

known as the “Bachelor Duke”, who extensively

remodeled Lismore Castle. The estate was then

inherited by the 7th

Duke, William Cavendish

(1808-1891) who married Lady Blanche Howard,

granddaughter of the Duchess Georgiana. Spencer

Compton Cavendish 8th

Duke (1833-1908) who

married Louise von Alten. Victor Cavendish, 9th

Duke (1868-1938) who married Lady Evelyn

Fitzmaurice and Edward Cavendish 10th

Duke

(1895-1950) who married Lady Mary Cecil. For

more information on the Dukes of Devonshire

please see www.chatsworth.org.uk

The agents for the duration of these papers were

Colonel William Currey (1817-1839); Francis

Edward Currey (1839-1885), assisted by his son

Chetwode H. Currey when he fell ill or was away

from Lismore; Robert H. Power (1885-1895);

James Penrose (1895-1921) and Edward Beecher

(1921-1936). During the 1930s Charles Cavendish,

son of Victor , 9th

Duke was resident at Lismore

Castle and was managing the estate on behalf of his

father and brother until his death in 1944. The sub-

agents in Bandon were Alexander Swanston

(c.1825-1852) and John R. Berwick (1852-c.1892).

The agents in Ireland corresponded with, and

submitted accounts for scrutiny and approval to,

Francis Alfred Currey, agent in London and from

1916 to Alan McPherson, auditor. The agents were

responsible for the administration of the estate but

the decisions on the running of the estate were made

by the Dukes of Devonshire using the detailed

information provided by the agents.

The Lismore estate became the Lismore Estates

Company c. 1927 and members of the Cavendish

family sat as members of the Board of the company.

The company was administered with the assistance

of Anthony Carroll, solicitor, Fermoy, co. Cork.

Meetings were held to discuss the administration of

the estate at Lismore Castle and in London.

Archival History: This collection was held at Lismore Castle until

1983 when it was box listed by Anthony

Malcolmson, Public Record Office of Northern

Ireland. The earlier part of the collection was

http://www.chatsworth.org.uk/

transferred to the National Library of Ireland and

these papers were transferred to Waterford

County Library’s store in Lismore. The papers

stored in the County Library in Lismore were

transferred to Waterford County Archives in

Dungarvan, co. Waterford on its establishment in

October 1998. In 2004 as part of a project to list the

papers there was a meeting between Waterford

County Archives and the National Library of

Ireland to create a clearer method of dividing the

parts of the collections held. A further visit was

made to Lismore Castle to sort and collect papers

that had not been removed in the 1980s and these

were divided according to the method determined

between WCA and NLI. Waterford County

Archives holds the following:

All Rental Books, Account Books and Legal Deeds

from 1870 onwards

Correspondence from 1885 (the end of FE Currey’s

agency)

Fishery records from any cases commenced after

1870 (any cases commenced prior to 1870 to be

held in their entirety by the National Library)

All Railway records

All Tenant Application Books

All Financial Vouchers

Some records prior to the 1885 cut-off point were

found inside the rental books or mixed among the

financial vouchers and ledgers following the

completion of the Descriptive List by the National

Library of Ireland and, therefore, while prior to the

1885 date have been listed here.

12 letters (1797-1833) relating to Cooper Penrose,

Woodhill, Cork have been transferred, with the

consent of the depositor, to Cork City and County

Archives where the Cooper Penrose Estate

collection is held www.corkarchives.ie

2 receipts (21st March 1956) for Charles and Mrs.

Gertrude Tisdall, Townley Hall, Drogheda, co.

Louth have been transferred, with the consent of the

depositor, to Louth Local Authority Archives

Content and Structure Scope and Content: This collection contains the administrative records

of the Lismore estate. It includes records on the

upkeep and running of Lismore Castle and Gardens,

the Castle Farm, Woods, Mountains, Lismore

Sawmills and the Blackwater Fishery.

The collection includes records of the tenants on the

estate, payment and non-payment of rents, fixing of

fair rents, requests for repairs and improvements

and the purchase by tenants of their farms under the

Landed Estates Acts. The Tenant Application

Books (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/169-201) record

applications made by tenants for improvements on

their farms and for assistance, such as assistance to

emigrate. These records provide a source for the

detailed history of many of the families and farms

of counties Cork and Waterford and in many cases

provide the only written evidence of the daily lives

of these tenants.

The Lismore Estate was also involved in a number

of infrastructural improvements, including: the

development of the Lismore Canal

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/437-476); the Lismore Water

Supply Scheme (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/489), and the

Lismore Gas and Coke Company

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/628-635). In particular, the

Estate was a major investor in the development of

the Railways. The Estate invested in the Lismore,

Dungarvan and Waterford Railway

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/752-802) and the Fermoy and

Lismore Railway (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/803-817) and

the collection includes extensive correspondence on

the introduction and management of the railways.

The collection contains a number of maps of the

railways and proposed routes.

The collection includes records on the operation of

the Blackwater Fishery by the Estate

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/636-694). There are extensive

records of legal cases (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/695-726)

regarding the Blackwater Fishery, the conservation

of salmon on the river and the operation of drift net

and rod fishing on the river. There are maps and

records of salmon and grilse numbers in the river


6

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/727-751) which would be of

use to those studying the Blackwater and the

conservation of fish stocks today.

The collection also contains some records of the

political situation in Ireland and the land question.

There are records in relation to the provision of

information from the estate for use by Lord

Hartington in the House of Lords

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/841) and information supplied

to William Gladstone on the Irish question

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/843). There are records in

relation to the War of Independence, in particular,

the burning of Lismore Courthouse

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/850) and Aghern Police

Barracks (IE/WCA/LISM/842).

From the will of the Earl of Cork in 1642 which set

up the Lismore Endowed School

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1786) and Youghal Endowed

School (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1793) to the twentieth

century the Dukes of Devonshire and the Lismore

Estate were supporters of schools and education.

Many schools benefitted from the support of the

estate and the collection includes records for a

number of schools in counties Cork and Waterford.

The collection also includes the interesting case to

bring to an end the endowment of the Lismore and

Youghal Endowed Schools by the will of the Earl of

Cork (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1805-1812). There are

also charitable contributions to a number of other

causes, such as, the Cabra School for the Deaf and

the Protestant Orphanage.

As the Dukes of Devonshire were also the Lay

Improprietor of the tithes of many parishes and

lands, the collection includes a great deal of

correspondence and legal records of tithe rent

charges and their collection

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1143-1594). The estate also

provided land for a number of church buildings and

there are records of these lands and their transfer

into Church hands (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/145-168).

The financial records of the estate provide an

interesting insight into the running of a large landed


7

estate in Ireland. There are records of the wages

paid to staff (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/851/41), the

payments to suppliers and the payments to tenants.

The payments of county cess and rates

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1094-1142), income tax

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1013-1016) and insurance

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/851/43) record the changes in

the costs and finances of the estate. The estate

records provide an interesting insight into the

changes to the tax system, the payment of death

duties (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1020) and the changes in

financial accounting systems

(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/852).
