  1. The Landlord

    Share Share Post
    The Marquis of Headford was the local Landlord of this district - Virginia Co. Cavan. He was a very nice man and when he saw the walls of a house built he slated it for them.
    He built houses and set plantations and did everything to make the people happy and to make the country look beautiful.
    When a person was unable to pay the rent he paid it himself. Many people liked him because he was a decent man.
