Level of Description: Fonds
Extent: 208 boxes
Creator Creators: Lismore Estate, Irish Estates of the Dukes of
Devonshire
Administrative History: Lismore Castle was the seat of the Dukes of
Devonshire in Ireland. William, the 4th
Duke of
Devonshire (1720-1764) married Lady Charlotte
Boyle (1731-1754), heiress of the 3rd
Earl of
Burlington and through this marriage the Irish estate
mainly situated in counties Waterford and Cork
became part of the estates of the Dukes of
Devonshire. The Irish estates were administered
from Lismore Castle, Lismore, County Waterford
by agents living and working from Lismore Castle
and responsible for all the Irish estates of the Dukes
of Devonshire with a sub-agent located in Bandon
to administer the lands and properties located in the
areas surrounding Bandon in county Cork.
The seat of the Dukes of Devonshire is Chatsworth
in Derbyshire, England. The Dukes visited Lismore
on occasion, in particular, to hunt and fish but were
not permanent residents of Lismore Castle. Instead,
the estate was administered by agents who were
closely supervised by the Dukes of Devonshire
through a series of detailed and, in some cases,
daily, correspondence.
During the period covered by these papers there
were a number of holders of the title of Duke of
Devonshire who held the Lismore estates. William
Cavendish, 5th
Duke of Devonshire (1748-1811)
who married Lady Georgiana Spencer; William
Spencer Cavendish, the 6th
Duke (1790-1858),

known as the “Bachelor Duke”, who extensively
remodeled Lismore Castle. The estate was then
inherited by the 7th
Duke, William Cavendish
(1808-1891) who married Lady Blanche Howard,
granddaughter of the Duchess Georgiana. Spencer
Compton Cavendish 8th
Duke (1833-1908) who
married Louise von Alten. Victor Cavendish, 9th
Duke (1868-1938) who married Lady Evelyn
Fitzmaurice and Edward Cavendish 10th
Duke
(1895-1950) who married Lady Mary Cecil. For
more information on the Dukes of Devonshire
please see www.chatsworth.org.uk
The agents for the duration of these papers were
Colonel William Currey (1817-1839); Francis
Edward Currey (1839-1885), assisted by his son
Chetwode H. Currey when he fell ill or was away
from Lismore; Robert H. Power (1885-1895);
James Penrose (1895-1921) and Edward Beecher
(1921-1936). During the 1930s Charles Cavendish,
son of Victor , 9th
Duke was resident at Lismore
Castle and was managing the estate on behalf of his
father and brother until his death in 1944. The sub-
agents in Bandon were Alexander Swanston
(c.1825-1852) and John R. Berwick (1852-c.1892).
The agents in Ireland corresponded with, and
submitted accounts for scrutiny and approval to,
Francis Alfred Currey, agent in London and from
1916 to Alan McPherson, auditor. The agents were
responsible for the administration of the estate but
the decisions on the running of the estate were made
by the Dukes of Devonshire using the detailed
information provided by the agents.
The Lismore estate became the Lismore Estates
Company c. 1927 and members of the Cavendish
family sat as members of the Board of the company.
The company was administered with the assistance
of Anthony Carroll, solicitor, Fermoy, co. Cork.
Meetings were held to discuss the administration of
the estate at Lismore Castle and in London.
Archival History: This collection was held at Lismore Castle until
1983 when it was box listed by Anthony
Malcolmson, Public Record Office of Northern
Ireland. The earlier part of the collection was

transferred to the National Library of Ireland and
these papers were transferred to Waterford
County Library’s store in Lismore. The papers
stored in the County Library in Lismore were
transferred to Waterford County Archives in
Dungarvan, co. Waterford on its establishment in
October 1998. In 2004 as part of a project to list the
papers there was a meeting between Waterford
County Archives and the National Library of
Ireland to create a clearer method of dividing the
parts of the collections held. A further visit was
made to Lismore Castle to sort and collect papers
that had not been removed in the 1980s and these
were divided according to the method determined
between WCA and NLI. Waterford County
Archives holds the following:
All Rental Books, Account Books and Legal Deeds
from 1870 onwards
Correspondence from 1885 (the end of FE Currey’s
agency)
Fishery records from any cases commenced after
1870 (any cases commenced prior to 1870 to be
held in their entirety by the National Library)
All Railway records
All Tenant Application Books
All Financial Vouchers
Some records prior to the 1885 cut-off point were
found inside the rental books or mixed among the
financial vouchers and ledgers following the
completion of the Descriptive List by the National
Library of Ireland and, therefore, while prior to the
1885 date have been listed here.
12 letters (1797-1833) relating to Cooper Penrose,
Woodhill, Cork have been transferred, with the
consent of the depositor, to Cork City and County
Archives where the Cooper Penrose Estate
collection is held www.corkarchives.ie
2 receipts (21st March 1956) for Charles and Mrs.
Gertrude Tisdall, Townley Hall, Drogheda, co.

Content and Structure Scope and Content: This collection contains the administrative records
of the Lismore estate. It includes records on the
upkeep and running of Lismore Castle and Gardens,
the Castle Farm, Woods, Mountains, Lismore
Sawmills and the Blackwater Fishery.
The collection includes records of the tenants on the
estate, payment and non-payment of rents, fixing of
fair rents, requests for repairs and improvements
and the purchase by tenants of their farms under the
Landed Estates Acts. The Tenant Application
Books (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/169-201) record
applications made by tenants for improvements on
their farms and for assistance, such as assistance to
emigrate. These records provide a source for the
detailed history of many of the families and farms
of counties Cork and Waterford and in many cases
provide the only written evidence of the daily lives
of these tenants.
The Lismore Estate was also involved in a number
of infrastructural improvements, including: the
development of the Lismore Canal
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/437-476); the Lismore Water
Supply Scheme (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/489), and the
Lismore Gas and Coke Company
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/628-635). In particular, the
Estate was a major investor in the development of
the Railways. The Estate invested in the Lismore,
Dungarvan and Waterford Railway
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/752-802) and the Fermoy and
Lismore Railway (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/803-817) and
the collection includes extensive correspondence on
the introduction and management of the railways.
The collection contains a number of maps of the
railways and proposed routes.
The collection includes records on the operation of
the Blackwater Fishery by the Estate
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/636-694). There are extensive
records of legal cases (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/695-726)
regarding the Blackwater Fishery, the conservation
of salmon on the river and the operation of drift net
and rod fishing on the river. There are maps and
records of salmon and grilse numbers in the river
Lismore Castle Papers
6
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/727-751) which would be of
use to those studying the Blackwater and the
conservation of fish stocks today.
The collection also contains some records of the
political situation in Ireland and the land question.
There are records in relation to the provision of
information from the estate for use by Lord
Hartington in the House of Lords
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/841) and information supplied
to William Gladstone on the Irish question
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/843). There are records in
relation to the War of Independence, in particular,
the burning of Lismore Courthouse
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/850) and Aghern Police
Barracks (IE/WCA/LISM/842).
From the will of the Earl of Cork in 1642 which set
up the Lismore Endowed School
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1786) and Youghal Endowed
School (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1793) to the twentieth
century the Dukes of Devonshire and the Lismore
Estate were supporters of schools and education.
Many schools benefitted from the support of the
estate and the collection includes records for a
number of schools in counties Cork and Waterford.
The collection also includes the interesting case to
bring to an end the endowment of the Lismore and
Youghal Endowed Schools by the will of the Earl of
Cork (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1805-1812). There are
also charitable contributions to a number of other
causes, such as, the Cabra School for the Deaf and
the Protestant Orphanage.
As the Dukes of Devonshire were also the Lay
Improprietor of the tithes of many parishes and
lands, the collection includes a great deal of
correspondence and legal records of tithe rent
charges and their collection
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1143-1594). The estate also
provided land for a number of church buildings and
there are records of these lands and their transfer
into Church hands (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/145-168).
The financial records of the estate provide an
interesting insight into the running of a large landed
Lismore Castle Papers
7
estate in Ireland. There are records of the wages
paid to staff (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/851/41), the
payments to suppliers and the payments to tenants.
The payments of county cess and rates
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1094-1142), income tax
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1013-1016) and insurance
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/851/43) record the changes in
the costs and finances of the estate. The estate
records provide an interesting insight into the
changes to the tax system, the payment of death
duties (IE/WCA/PP/LISM/1020) and the changes in
financial accounting systems
(IE/WCA/PP/LISM/852).
