    Share Share Post
    The last male heir to Edgeworthstown demesne died in 1926 in the person of Francis Y Edgeworth. Professor in Oxford University.

    When she had settled in the Castle she was greatly obsessed with the idea of transferring the monument to Honora referred to on Page 34 to a more prominent site opposite Maria's window.
