Place & story
Housing and recurring support
Colonel Forde’s six almshouses at Seaforde were intended for six elderly widows. Samuel Lewis recorded their construction in 1828 and an annual endowment of £60 in his 1837 account. The provision joined housing with recurring financial support. Seaforde lay in Loughinisland parish within Kinelarty, where the estate also maintained a manor court and hosted regular fairs. [2]
