- Lord Crofton was our landlord.
The Croftons are here since the Cromwellian Plantation.
They were planted by Cromwell in the 17th century.
They were looked upon as good landlords.
Lord Crofton sold the land to the Land Commission and they divided it.
Tithes were paid here at one time.
They were paid in cattle or in money.
The Croftons as landlords were liked by the people.
There were chiefs (O'Murrays) there before the Croftons. They were catholics.
