  1. The second Marquis of Headfort gave the site for the present Catholic Church of Kells and a lease of same "while water would run and grass grow."
    He also gave a £100 as well as the beautiful picture of the Assumption by Raphael. Later on when this masterpiece of painting was slashed and gashed by some madman, the Marquis came forward again and had the picture sent to Italy, to be repaired and all this at his own expense.
