Envelope of leases of premises which are all described as being on the road to Burkeshill or as adjoining Burkeshill, and have no other intelligible indication of location. [In date order.]
Three fragmentary draft or sketch maps on tracing paper of south and west Offaly dating to c.1808, and a fourth of the King's Channel area , County Waterford, dating possibly to Larkin's survey of County Waterford in 1818.
Envelope of leases of premises in Langton’s Lane and other premises bearing the name Langton, [which seem to have been in the vicinity of Chapel Lane and Back Lane]. The Langton who was extant in the 1790s was a Philip Langton of Trinidad, [but clearly the family were major Birr tenants of the Parsonses, some of whose leases were probably reacquired by the 2nd Earl of Rosse, who seems to have been active in buying out long and perpetuity leases in the town – presumably in connection with his building plans.]
Envelope of leases of ‘Samuel Abbott’s holding’ between Main Street and Back Lane, together with fields and parks on the outskirts of Birr. [In date order.]
