The Fishmongers Estate in County Londonderry
The Fishmongers’ Company is one of the most ancient Worshipful Livery Companies of the City of London, and is one of the ‘Great Twelve’. They were fourth, in the order of precedence, established in 1515. In that year there were 48 Livery Company’s in London and today there are 110.
The twelve Companies of London were granted lands at the time of the Plantation of Ireland (1603-1641), in what was then, the County of Coleraine. (Colerain or Coleraine became County Londonderry in 1613.)
The other livery Companies were
Mercers
Grocers
Drapers
Goldsmiths
Merchant Taylors
Skinners
Haberdashers
Salters
Ironmongers
Vintners
Clothworkers
This estate is situated in the half barony of Terkeeran (Tirkeeran) and in the parishes of Tamlaght Finlagan, Faughanvale, Cumber and Banagher. It commences about 3 miles down the river Roe, below Newtown Limavady, on the west bank and proceeds up the stream, through a district of fertile land called the Myroe lands, till it nearly reaches the town; from the banks of that river, it runs along the shore of Lough Foyle for about 6 Irish miles, till it joins the Grocers proportion; from this point it turns southward and passes through a mountainous country, till it reaches the road from Derry to Dungiven. It is in general very narrow, being in some parts of the first described district, under a mile and in some of the mountain parts, not more than from 2 to 3 miles in width; the whole of it however, is indented and intersected with church lands, or Companies freeholds, and the whole extent is about 12,000 Irish, or plantation, acres.
The Fishmongers proportion of the London Companies, is the only one that has ancient woods of any extent on it. The family who held the estate under them, having built a large mansion house, were induced to preserve the ancient woods as an ornament to their demesne and planted a great deal themselves. The woods (Walworth Woods) cover upwards of 300 acres. Since the Company came into possession, they made a plantation along the waste bank of the mountain stream, which passes through the village of Bally Kelly, which appears to cover about 3 or 4 acres of land and they planted a clump of trees, of rather less dimensions, on the mountain side of the estate and some trees in the yards of the Presbyterian meeting houses.
The Company have built 2 Presbyterian meeting-houses; one near the village of Bally Kelly, the other at the opposite end of their estate, in a style which does them great credit, being very extensive and handsome buildings and well executed. They have likewise built 2 schools one at each end of the estate which are capacious, well-planned and well-managed, and have both separate rooms and establishments for the males and females. In the one near Bally Kelly, the elder girls are taught the art of filling net lace, whereby they are enabled to earn a decent livelihood. These schools are kept up entirely at the expense of the Company. They have also built 2 dispensaries to the medical men who attend, which they allow salaries and residences; one of them in the village of Bally Kelly is a very elegant building. They have built a handsome agent’s house and a very neat farming house on the opposite side of the road, as a model for farming houses on the estate, but it has remained unimitated and is likely to be so, as the tenants on the estate have not sufficient interest in their farms to induce them to encounter such a large outlay as the building would require. In the village, the Company have built about a score of comfortable houses, they have likewise built a market which seems chiefly adapted for the sale of grain and is sufficient for the required purpose. When the Company first got possession they contemplated making Ballykelly a trading town by cutting a ship canal into Lough Foyle and expended a large sum of money on the undertaking, but the project did not succeed.
Grants of the Fishmongers Company – Ballykelly Manse, free gift; Ballykelly Church, free gift; Banagher Manse, partially; Faughanvale 100£. They built 12 schools on the estate and kept them in repair. They introduced the Lancastrian system of education, which was pursued, until schools were taken under the National Board. A total annual grant of 160£ was made to these schools. From 1836 until 1887, the company spent on an average about 4,777£ a year in donations and contributions to churches, chapels, schools, &c. and upon general management.
The church of Ireland was built in 1795, near the village of Ballykelly, at the joint expense of the Earl of Bristol, then Bishop of Derry, and of John BERESFORD Esq.: it is a small, but very handsome edifice, in the early English style, with a large square tower and lofty octagonal spire: the windows are embellished with the armorial bearings of the Irish Society, the Fishmongers’ Company, and the BERESFORD family, in stained glass. A grant of £124 for its repair has been lately made by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. (Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary of Ireland 1837)

John Campbell says of Tamlaghtfinlagan & Ballykelly –
“Tamlaght Finlagan means “The plague monument of St. Findluganus”. Findluganus was a friend of St. Columba, who attended the famous Convention of Drumceatt in the year 574 AD. In 585 it was decided to build an abbey nearby and Findluganus was its first abbot. The abbey became a parish church at some later date. It is impossible to be precise, but the parish is mentioned in some papal paperwork in 1291. By 1622 the church was in ruins. Presently it is surrounded by ancient and new graves and the one standing wall has been either restored or recently pointed.
When the fishmongers took over the parish they decided to establish a new church. This was built on the Walworth estate in 1622, though parts of it are much older. The fishmongers simply enlarged an old chapel and added a chancel. Unfortunately those were interesting times and the place was burned down during the 1641 rising. Bureaucracy was as slow then as now and it wasn’t rebuilt until 1664. Mind you, they should have waited a few more years, because when the Irish army returned from the famous siege of Derry in 1689 the soldiers were in an understandably foul mood. When they passed through Ballykelly they promptly burned the church again. This time round it took only three years to rebuild. This was because King William, who had fond memories of the unsuccessful siege, ordered its restoration in 1692. However, the congregation was never really happy with the place. It was too small and too far outside the town. A new chancel was added in 1719 by the Lieutenant General Frederick Hamilton but by 1795 a new church had been built about a mile down the road and the place fell into disrepair.
At the time of writing (2000) the old place is overgrown, standing raised above a splendid graveyard and the old archway gives it a rather noble air. Not many people come to visit the old church, but those who do, do not regret the journey. The handsome new church built in 1795 was funded by the Earl Bishop of Bristol and the Hon. John Beresford. The Bishop was very fond of building: Mussenden temple and Downhill Castle are two other examples of his endeavours. The graveyard surrounding the new church is notable for the fact that it contains the grave of Blind James McCurry, who introduced Jane Ross to the charms of the tune “The Londonderry Air”, known to him as “O’Cahan’s lament.”
From Wikipedia; “Ballykelly (from the Irish: Baile Uí Cheallaigh meaning “Kellystown”) is a village in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It lies 4km (3 miles) west of Limavady on the main A2 road Derry to Limavady, and 23km from Derry. It is designated as a Large Village and by 2001 the population of Ballykelly (excluding Walworth) was 1,827.[1] It lies within the Limavady Borough Council area.”
It contains some of the most interesting buildings erected in Ulster by the Plantation companies, being largely developed by the London Company of Fishmongers through the 18th century and 19th century. It features Tamlaghtfinlagan Parish Church, built by Earl Frederick Hervey, 18th Century Bishop of Derry, amongst many traditional buildings. The Presbyterian Church, Drummond Hotel and North West Independent Hospital, were all built by the London Company of Fishmongers. The village enjoys views across Lough Foyle to Inishowen in County Donegal and is bordered by Ballykelly Forest which was the first State Forest in Northern Ireland. Although there are good health and educational facilities available, there is only a limited retail sector relative to the population of the village.”

The Fishmongers Company had leased their lands in County Londonderry to the Earl of Tyrone, for terms which included the life of King George III. Thus, the lands reverted to the Fishmongers Company upon the death of King George III, on 29 Jan. 1820. A rent roll of the Manor of Walworth was received by them on 8 Feb. 1820 (notation in vol. 11, p. 235). Representatives of the Company went to Co. Londonderry and compiled a complete list of all tenants on the Company’s lands. This was done and its receipt was noted on 27 Jul. 1820 (vol. 12, p. 50). It was recorded as Appendix 5.
It was noted in volume 12, pages 3 & 85, that prior to 1820, Protestant tenants held their holdings under sub-leases given by the Earl of Tyrone from 1749 to 1754. These were held under the same terms of the Earl, so that they expired in 1820, resulting in many of the existing tenants being direct descendants of the 1749-54 leasees. Prior to 1820, the Catholic tenants held leases for a term of years, which expired about the year 1800, after which, the Catholics held their leases at the pleasure of the Earl. They were subject to large increases in rent, that many of the Protestants did not have to suffer, as many of them still held theirs at the 1749-1754 rates.
Initially the Company had continued the previous leases for one year. Subsequent to that, longer term leases were to be prepared. It is clear from comments that not all tenants initially wanted to enter into long term leases. These were hard times and they were taking a chance of holding year to year leases, in the hope of getting better terms.
The freehold leases differ from the other leases in that the value of the lands/premises were in excess of £20. The leasees had to pay 2 guinea to have their leases sealed.
These leases were found in the Minute Books of the Fishmongers Company. Volume 13 was microfilmed by the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints (LDS) under microfilm #1966803, Fishmongers Court Minute Books. At the Guildhall Library, London, England, the reference numer is MS 5571.
These are a great source for that period, as clearly some of these pople did not appear on these lands in the Tithe Applotment Books or in the 1831 census, due to such reasons as; default of payment, emigration, or death.
Quickly after the Fishmongers got control of their Londonderry estate, they attended to leasing out their larger and more valuable properties. There was a fair deal of discussion about this. as the following are just a summary of how some of these were to be rented.

p. 153. 30th Nov. 1820
Rev. Marcus McCAUSLAND, about 70 years of age with no family, was to resign the townland of Broglasgow in November 1821. His nephew, Mr. Hugh BOYLE was to lease half of the townland.

1868 – The Tenant right custom has suffered most on this company’s estate. The agent requires all incoming tenants, or assignees of old tenants, to sign a deed of covenant releasing all claim to Tenant right and if he refuses to sign, he will not be accepted as tenant. The estate consists of forty nine townlands, containing on the whole, about 21,661 statute acres. The Government valuation in 1858 was £10,457. The rental is £10,000.
1881 – The Fishmongers Company, have since been zealous and liberal landlords. Under the intelligent management of the late agent Mr A SAMPSON, great portions of the estate, liable to frequent floods, were dried by cuttings and embankments; the good alluvial deposits left from the great lake which in olden times occupied the fertile valley of the Roe have thus been available for improved cultivation; roads have been made, farms squared, and tenants helped with their buildings and reclamation.
Towards houses put up by the smaller upland tenants, 40£ has been contributed by the company for which an annual addition of 20s. is made to the rent. A grant is regularly awarded for cottage building and repairs and is expended at the discretion of Mr W.C. GAGE J. P., the much esteemed agent. Mainly through his exertions Ballykelly has been made a model village, which might contrast favourably with any in England. The cottages are well built, comfortable, and nicely kept, plants in pots are ranged in many windows, flower gardens, and trim hedges are in front amenities, indicative of tidiness and thrift, seldom seen in Ireland. Good vegetable gardens, well-stocked, are set aside for every cottager who pays, according to accommodation for house and garden, from 2£ to 5£ a year. A common is provided for the cows belonging to the villagers. Of this privilege, thirty families now take advantage paying 42s. for the summer, 21s. for the winter, grazing of each cow. Other cottages throughout the estate are let with the farms.
In the village are a church and Presbyterian chapel, a capital school, where the labourers children have gratuitous education and the farmers pay 8s. a year and where all books and appliances are found, besides a post office, saw-mill and flax-mill, all maintained for public benefit, mainly at the expense of the landlords. Whatever might be said by other residents on the estate the neatly dressed, tidy, labourers and their wives, with the well-shod, clean, wholesome looking children of Ballykelly would certainly protest against any change of landlords.
The agricultural tenants number 370, the largest farm is 500 acres, more than half are under seventy acres. The estate comprises 20,540 imperial acres. Griffith’s valuation is 9,595£ 12s.; the actual rental is 9,507£ 5s. 9d. During twenty one years the accession to the rent roll has been 1,600£. All tenants have leases for twenty one years, at the termination of which, revaluation is made, but in such valuations tenants improvements are always allowed for.
William LEECH had sixty-one acres of heath, for which he paid 40s. It came out of lease in 1851. The company, who, by a deputation of their members, triennially inspect their domains and make note of what is done, which is more than is effected by some absentees, or even by some resident proprietors, were so pleased with LEECH’S improvements, that they gave him another twenty one years at the same figure, and in 1872 charged him during his third lease 61£ 10s. for a holding, which would be cheap at 20£. All fences were made by the company and they contribute to the keeping up of all mearing, or march fences. Building is undertaken for any tenant on payment of 4 per cent on the outlay, but the tenantry, generally being well to do, usually prefer to carry out their own improvements, often, however, receiving grants of slates. For buildings put on one farm at a cost of 1,000£ 15s. a year is charged.
Tenant right is not restricted; it has doubled in value in twenty five years; it is generally disposed of through an auctioneer and makes 23 or 24 years purchase. J. DOUGLAS, a peasant proprietor, recently bought the tenant right of a farm rented at 40£ for 1,130£. FERGUSON, anxious to secure 22 acres, rented at 14£ paid 800£ for the entry. Now that times are worse and money scarcer, he could not sell on equally good terms. R. DUNN, required to part with half an acre for enlarging a graveyard, made and received his claim of 30£, being at the rate of 86 years rent for the tenant right alone, the company granting it to the parish free of rent forever. Solicitous for the moral well-being of the people, 120£ is annually granted in aid of the salaries of the clergy on the estates. Schools cost on an average 800£, but owing to extra buildings the outlay in 1879 was 1,188£.
One of the worshipful company’s tenants must be taken as an exemplar of the whole Mr Arthur GIBSON rents 138 imperial acres, for which he pays 194£, he has a lease for 21 years, but complains that he is liable to be raised when the lease is renewed. He would gladly buy the fee simple of his farm at 25 years purchase on a fair rent, but cautiously premises that his present rent would be too high an estimate. His tenant right would realise fully 30£ an acre. Buying the fee simple at 25 years purchase would therefore represent 55 years purchase; a very handsome value for a purely agricultural holding. Mr GIBSON has followed his father and grandfather in the occupation of Broighter. By them, and by himself, all the buildings have been done, the handsome house erected, as well as the ample ranges of stabling, and stalling, in which 77 feeding cattle are now tied, eating oat straw, about 36 lbs. daily of the superior swedes, of which the yield exceeds 30 tons an acre, and further helped along by about 4 lbs. each of mixed meals. Only three milch cows are kept. The cattle are bought in, occasionally as yearlings, chiefly as two year olds, when fat, they are sold in the byres and usually go to Liverpool. Under the supervision of the sons, everything seems carefully and tidily arranged, the large amount of well-made manure is heaped mostly under cover, ricks and rickyard are clean and smart, as they seldom are in Ireland; a six course rotation is pursued; the grass seeds remaining down during 3 years; the only notable extravagance is the keeping of 9 horses, 4 or 5 being sufficient to work the deep, good loam, which never misses a crop and is grateful for Mr GIBSON’S judicious liberal treatment.
1872 Memorial to the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers from their Tenantry on the Manor of Walworth, Co. Londonderry
Manor of Walworth – (est. 24th Oct. 1618) The jurisdiction of this court extends over the manor consisting of 50 townlands situated in the parishes of Tamlaghtfinlaggan, Faughanvale, Cumber and Banagher, baronies of Kenaght and Tirkeeran, county of Londonderry. The greatest distance from the place of holding the court (Ballykelly) is about 11 miles in a direct line.
In 1872, the Fishmongers Company proposed to increase their rents, already higher than the principal estates in the county, by amounts varying from 12 to 400 %, the latter being a case where the tenant had reclaimed every foot of ground in the farm and erected the buildings at his own cost. In many cases the increase was over 100 % and in several over 200 %. These increases would practically have confiscated the tenant right.
20th September 1872
The humble Memorial of the tenants on the estate of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers most respectfully sheweth:
That memorialists deeply regret that any cause of disagreement has arisen between them and your Worshipful Company.
That formerly the affairs of the estate were administered in a manner satisfactory both to landlords and tenants.
That the ancient custom of tenant right was respected, and that rents were fair.
That the tenants were contented, they did not fear to expend their utmost penny in permanent improvements, knowing that no advantage would be taken of them, and they regarded the company as just and considerate landlords, but that now a feeling of deep dissatisfaction and distrust pervades the entire estate.
That a few years ago the company sought to abolish the Ulster custom on the estate by requiring the purchasers of tenant right to sign a covenant, binding them to surrender their holdings at the end of the term, without any claim of any kind or description whatsoever.
That this was a vital blow aimed at the principle of the ancient custom, and excited feelings of uneasiness and alarm.
That the agreement which they have been recently required to sign has renewed the apprehension that it is the desire of the company to extinguish tenant right on the estate.
That on the faith of this custom, which, until lately, was never interfered with by the company, large sums have been paid for tenant right, and many permanent improvements made; that the abrogation of that custom by the landlords, unless by purchase, would be an act of confiscation.
That the rise of rents proposed to be exacted from memorialists is on a scale unparalleled and unheard of in this country: that it would virtually nullify tenant right, and act as a heavy discouragement to all further improvement.
That the improved value of their lands is the result of the tenants’ industry, without any outlay upon the part of the company, and that the proposed rents would be a grievous charge upon their own improvements.
The memorialists, with a due regard to their own interests, cannot undertake to pay them.
That the estate is at present let higher than the principal estates in this county; that at the proposed rents it would be considerably higher than the highest rented of those estates.
That, from information derived from trustworthy sources, memorialists have reason to believe that, having regard to the circumstances of England and Ireland, and to the fact that in the former the permanent improvements are mainly executed by the landlord, the present rents of your Worshipful Company’s estate are relatively higher than the letting value of ordinary agricultural holdings in England.
That memorialists venture to submit that it is not unreasonably expected that a great public company (and the more so, as they are absentees) should deal with their tenants on much more generous and liberal terms than private proprietors.
That although the value of live stock has risen considerably of late, that taxes have also greatly increased, and that the cost of labour has doubled during the last 20 years, that it is still increasing, and there is every prospect that before long it will be still greater than it is now.
That the case of the occupiers of reclaimed land is one of peculiar hardship. Their farms are the result of their hard toil and unremitting industry; the soil at the best is very inferior; the climate so moist as to make the harvests extremely precarious; that the small holders, with the greatest care and frugality, can realise only a scanty subsistence; that the interest on the cost of reclamation would alone be a reasonable rent, and that the proposed increase is exorbitant and oppressive.
That hitherto the occupying tenants have been heavily taxed for public works, for the building of bridges, the making of roads, and keeping them in repair; for gaols, bridewells, court-houses, lunatic asylum, infirmary, salaries of county officials, and charges in connexion with the administration of the laws; that it is but just that the owners of property, inasmuch as they participate in the benefit of the above, should bear their fair share of the burden; that the Land Act provides that, in all new lettings, the landlords shall pay one half of the county cess.
That if on any such new lettings the landlords should seek to relieve themselves of this tax, by adding their share to the tenants’ rent, they would be evading a charge which, in strict justice, they ought to bear, and would be depriving the tenants of the boon which the Legislature intended to confer upon them.
That formerly the holders of mountain farms, in conformity with the usage of the country, were entitled to and did charge those persons who cut turf on their holdings a certain sum for each day’s cutting as compensation for the injury sustained by reason of the trespass committed, but that for some years past they have been deprived of such compensation.
That nothing should be more deprecated than angry controversy and litigation between landlords and tenants; that, if it should unfortunately come to that, memorialists have not provoked it.
That memorialists have always fulfilled the obligations of good tenants; that they are still ready and willing to do so; that they earnestly desire peace, and that it rests with your Worshipful Company whether the former satisfactory relations shall be restored.
That memorialists respectfully ask permission to inspect Mr. NOLAN’S valuation.
That memorialists pray your Worshipful Company will take the premises into your favourable consideration, and memorialists, as in duty bound, will ever pray. 20th September 1872
