I am seeking a photograph of Glenfarne Hall, Co Leitrim. This was the home of the Tottenham family and the estate was on the shore of Lough MacNean. Can anyone help?
Also I would be interested in any history of the house.
Many thanks
Stephen

Hello iammjh,
Welcome to RootsChat.
Glenfarne Hall (near Lough MacNean), a forty eight room mansion, was built around 1820 for the Tottenham family. The property became the home of Sir Edward James Harland, Bart., M. P. for North Belfast towards the end of the nineteenth century. Sir Edward died there on Christmas Eve 1895. The building was burnt down during the Civil War in Ireland (1918-21). .

Many thanks for your posting and links Christopher
I have a special interest in sundials and am currently researching a 19th c. slate sundial maker called Richard Melville a.k.a. Melvin who may have come from Co. Down. One of his dials was made in 1844 for a Hy. Tottenham and has the Latitude of 54D 21M inscribed, this is the latitude of Enniskillen/Downpatrick and places in between. I found a young Hy Tottenham from Enniskillen at school in England during the 1861 census and this aroused my interest. Of course this dial may have been made for a Hy T. in England or for that matter anywhere else along the 54D 21M line. You can see a thumbnail image of this dial on the homepage of my website

Thanks again for your help

Hi Michael,
I'm new to the forum and can't operate the personal messages yet! I'm researching Glenfarne Hall and I, too, wondered if I might request a photo of the house from you?
I'd be most appreciative indeed.
All best
Tim

I am completing a history dissertation about the Irish Land Question and focusing in on the vast amount of property and estate that Arthur Loftus Tottenham had. Any maps, pictures of Glenfarne estate and information about evictions would be extremely helpful. I have only begun my account today so unaware of how to personal message this.
thanks :)
