Conveyance Of Muckross Demesne
Conveyance of Muckross Demesne from Arthur Baron Ardilaun to William Bowers Bourn (1911).
Lord Ardilaun and his wife Olivia purchased Muckross House together
with its demesne and some
other
lands in November 1899.
Olivia was a niece of Colonel Henry
Arthur Herbert, the man
responsible
for
building Muckross House.
The Ardilauns spent very little time at Muckross. Instead, it was largely let out as a hunting and shooting lodge.
The Ardilauns sold the property in 1911 to Mr William Bowers Bourn, a wealthy American.
