Part of Charleville Forest Papers
Newspaper clipping from The King’s County Chronicle, featuring the coming of age of Charles William Francis Bury, the 4th Earl of Charleville, and the great lengths to which all the townspeople went, “the humble labourer as well as the great merchant”, in adorning their dwellings for the benefit of the Earl. At a celebratory banquet, reference was made to good management of the lineage in their estates, and through their patronage, Tullamore, which in the early part of the 18th century was an “insignificant village” now stands “second to none among the same class of provincial towns”.
Bury, Charles William Francis, 4th earl of Charleville
