Some Early Tenants of the Drapers Estate

The 1934 annual report of the Public Records Office, Belfast, included some information about early tenants on the Drapers Estate in County Londonderry, dating back to 1613.

The Company had photocopied their early records for filing with PRONI; and an article in the Mid-Ulster Mail, 4 January 1936 ,Page 3, gives some selected information from those records along with a list of tenants.

The referenced documents seem likely to be part of what is now the Drapers Company Estate Archive (PRONI ref D363). The linked document gives an introduction to the history of the Drapers Estate in the county.

Tenant notes

  • In 1618, complaints had been made about the state of the water supply in Moneymore. ROBERT RUSSELL, the Drapers' agent , was accused of building a brew house so large it had multiple deleterious effects, including on the water supply. A petition was made against him by Rev. THOMAS HARTFORD, rector of Desertlyn and Lissan, and Rev. THOMAS BRADLEY, rector of Ballyclog and Ardtrea.
  • In 1623 Russell was no longer the agent. The tenants ask for Mr. STAPLES to be applounted as agent.
  • In 1625 the state of the water supply is questioned again, and the Castle is unfinished.
