Place & story
Provision for the estate community
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 Portadown account records a dispensary wholly supported by Lord Mandeville for tenants of the Portadown estate. The same patron had established a lending library and a loan fund. These services add medical care, access to books and financial provision to the history of a town known for trade and manufacture. The dispensary’s stated catchment was the estate’s tenants. [2]
