Place & story
Landholding in the parish
Nineteenth-century field-name records describe fourteen houses on the glebe at Kilteely, forming part of the village. The rector, the Revd. George Madders, let them to six tenants, who sublet to eight others. At Kildromin, elsewhere in the parish, the proprietors were recorded as the Governors of Schools. They let the land to Michael Lloyd Apjohn, who in turn leased it to thirty-seven tenants. These separate entries reveal successive layers of tenancy, rather than treating every resident as a direct tenant of the landowner. [2]
