  1. There were several Landlords in this country in olden times. The Landlord of this place was Stoney Vasey. He made several evictions in this locality. The people he evicted had to leave their homes and live in a stable or in a neighbours or friends house. It was a very hard time in farmers when these laws were in force. There was a bailiff appointed in every district his duty was to enable the people to redeem their lands.
    It was Michael Davitt that put an end to Landlordism.
