- The Land Lord of Clontra was Lord Singelton. He was agood man to his tennants. He gave them the Land purchase, and he reduced their rent to less than half, when he that the people were poor. He lived for a time in Kilmore where the post Offic now stands.
The Agent was Mr J Studders. He used to go around encouring the people to pay him the full Rent. The people did not like him, because he was a bad sort of a man. But Lord Singelton was a good man.
