Synopsis

Frederick Trench was a wealthy late-eighteenth century gentleman, who pieced together lands at Ballinakill for the demesne he named Heywood. This study examines how his social position and upbringing was reflected in the creation of Heywood demesne, in his relationship with the English landowner, with his tenants and with the many friends and visitors who came to admire and experience his particular creation.
