Biography

Henrietta was born in 1837.

She inherited from her father an estate in Co. Kildare comprising 462 statute acres in the Baronies of North and South Salt, including Celbridge Abbey, a mansion situated on the River Liffey, and historically known as the residence of Esther Vanhomrigh, the "Vanessa" of Dean Swift's poems. She subsequently derived from her mother an estate in Co. Meath, situated in the Barony of Upper Duleek, containing 994 statute acres and head-rents on land in the same county, situated in the Barony of Lune, of considerable value. Also an estate in Co. Monaghan consisting of 12 Townlands in the Baronies of Cremorne, Monaghan and Trough and containing 1,547 statute acres. Three of these Townlands situated in the Barony of Cremorne have since been sold to the occupying tenants under the Laud Act of 1881, leaving about 1,000 acres. Henrietta, Mrs. Langdale, died at Houghton Hall, March the 12th, 1898, aged 70, and was buried in the same vault with the remains of her husband, in the Catholic cemetery at Sancton, on the 15th of the same month.
