Full Description

The story of Lord George Hill, a 23,000-acre Donegal landlord, shows that benevolence and a mission to 'civilise' tenants could not prevent the demise of 19th century landlordism in Ireland. While Hill had a reputation as a visionary reformer, he failed to quell the protests of tenants whose cause was backed by priests and a campaigning journalist.
