W. S. and T. W. Trench Annual Reports to the 9th Baron Digby

Annual reports, rentals and accounts submitted by the Trenches to Lord Digby, 9th Baron Digby of Geashill, beginning with an introductory survey of the estate in 1857, followed by successive annual reports from 1858 until 1872. In 1870, Thomas Weldon Trench resigned his position and W. S, Trench employed Reginald Digby, nephew of Lord Digby, to replace T. W, Trench on the estate. W. S. Trench died in 1872, and Reginald Digby continued thereafter as sole agent for estate.

W. S. and T. W. Trench Labourers' Cottage Improvements

Two volumes containing watercolour paintings depicting improvements in labourers' cottages. Each page contains two images, the cottage as it was before improvements and as it was after. The 1860 volume in particular reveals cottages transformed by the improvements. The 1865 volume is less dramatic, mainly depicting the installation of windows in the cottages, and in one case, the construction of a horseshoe shaped forge.
