The lighthouse that was not – Old Head 1797

image preview

The lighthouse known as the Tower of Lloyd was commissioned in 1791 by Thomas Taylor, 1st Earl of Bective, in memory of his father. Henry Aaron Baker designed it. The 'lighthouse' is located on the Commons of Lloyd near Kells in County Meath, some 40km from the coast, and as such is redundant as a lighthouse. It was, however, used in the nineteenth century by the aristocracy for viewing the local hunt. The Tower of Lloyd is, in fact, an eighteenth-century folly.

In the summer of 1831, famine returned to County Mayo, and the starving took to the roads in search of food. Travellers on the roads witnessed and recorded many desperate people in the fields feeding on mustard, cress, and other herbage. Convoys of horses and carts carrying food also plied the roads, and it was not long before the starving turned their attention to them. The carts had meal and flour imported through Westport, destined for markets, big houses, and famine relief depots. The authorities responded by assigning armed escorts, but hunger had disarmed people of their fear of armed soldiers and constables.

Yet nowhere did it impact more than on the mountainside community of Maamtrasna .

‘A man ran shouting: Lord Cavendish and Burke are killed..’

The Maamtrasna Murders happened at a time of deep unrest in Ireland. Three years previously, the most effective protest against the insidious landlord domination of the vast majority of the Irish people found expression in the Land League. It was established on October 21 1879, in the Imperial Hotel, Castlebar, by a former Fenian prisoner Michael Davitt. In a sweeping revolutionary statement, the League proclaimed the right of every tenant farmer to own the land he worked on. Because of the abuses heaped on tenants by some landlords, it had an immediate impact.
