Known as “Ireland’s Most Beautiful Home”, Westport House has a story that matches its beauty. One of the few still privately-owned historic houses left in Ireland, Westport House was built by the Browne family whose connections to Mayo date back to the 1500s and even relates them to the trail-blazing pirate queen and chieftain, Grace O’Malley.

🎨 Portrait of #UlickdeBurghBrowne, 7th #MarquessofSligo (1898-1941) by #PhilipdeLaszlo, 1917 (Sotheby's);
A keen horseman he served in World War I as part of the Royal Scots Greys (2nd Dragoons) and was awarded the Military Cross. In the 1920s he took over the administration of the family estates. During the World War II he established a first aid station, with three wards, at #WestportHouse, and provided a fully equiped fire engine and an ambulance for use in the district. He never married.
James Wyatt in Ireland 2. In 1778 James Wyatt was invited by the first Marquess of Waterford to design new interiors for Curraghmore, County Waterford, and three years later the first Marquess of Sligo asked him to design a new dining room for Westport, County Mayo. The first two images are of Curraghmore’s dining room, and the second two of that in Westport. #Ireland #Eire #Curraghmore #CountyWaterford #WestportHouse #CountyMayo #IrishCountryHouse #JamesWyatt theirishaesthete.com
Our Objects of the Day are two items you might be surprised to find in our collection ... two fabulous ostrich feather hats (➡️) which once belonged to Lady Alice Evelyn Mahon (née Browne), the mother of renowned art historian Sir Denis Mahon.
Lady Alice (1877-1970) grew up in Mayo, at Westport House. She was the daughter of Henry Ulick Browne, 5th Marquess of Sligo. She married John Fitzgerald Mahon in 1898, and the couple had their only child, Denis, in London in 1910; Denis went on to become one of the leading scholars and collectors of Italian Baroque art of his generation, and he was instrumental in the authentication of Caravaggio's The Taking of Christ here at the National Gallery of Ireland in the early nineties.
Lady Alice purchased these two plumed hats in London, from the luxury department store Harvey Nichols. Her taste in hats was true to the fashion of the period, when hats were particularly large, with brims often reaching past the wearer’s shoulders. Hatpins, which sometimes measured over a foot in length, were used to keep the pieces secure - one of the photographs here shows Lady Alice wearing a similar plumed hat. Such hats became less fashionable during the First World War when smaller and plainer hats became increasingly popular.
These hats, as well as lots more fascinating objects including war memorabilia, antique furniture, and family photograph albums, form part of the Sir Denis Mahon collection and family archive which Sir Denis generously gifted to the National Gallery of Ireland in 2010, alongside his extensive library.

"But to know that someone loves you
And to have them by your side

Visited the fabulous Westport House today for a brilliant and very informative tour of the restoration works. They are taking on a huge restoration of the house and have very big plans to further improve the visitor experience. Thanks to Kathryn for the tour, it was fantastic.

Westport House, Co. Mayo - What a difference a year or so makes - Essential emergency repair works have commenced at Westport House. The works are to stop the ingress of water into the building as it is causing significant damage to the historic house. The house developed over generations with contributions by architects Richard Cassels, Thomas Ivory & James Wyatt. Here is the west facade or garden front with terraces designed by William Henry Romaine-Walker in the early 20th century. #westporthouse

Revisiting my personal #visitmayo campaign for #throwbackthursday⠀
⠀
There is so much to say about Westport House that I hardly know where to begin. Built on the site of a medieval castle owned by Granuaile, the famous pirate queen, it remained in the same family for hundreds of years. It has something for everyone- amazing architecture, important interiors, gorgeous gardens and a heady history.⠀
⠀
The present house was designed by Richard Castle in 1731 and extended by Thomas Ivory in 1778. It has beautiful 18th Century interiors, including a room by James Wyatt. Its setting is sublime, in rolling parkland overlooking Clew Bay with Croagh Patrick in the distance. The estate is attached to one of Ireland’s few planned towns, and arguably its most attractive.⠀
⠀
The Browne family were forced to sell in 2017 after accumulating substantial debts. It seemed likely that it would be purchased as a private residence and closed to the public, however the local Hughes family bought it with a plan to invest €50 million to maintain the estate as a tourist attraction for the benefit of the local community.⠀
⠀
There is much more fascinating history to delve into if you visit. And if you do visit, consider staying at the adjacent hotelwestport owned by the Hughes family. They deserve all our support and thanks for this amazing undertaking. westporthouse ⠀

Designed by the famous architects Richard Cassels and James Wyatt in the 18th century, Westport House in Westport, County Mayo, is one of Ireland’s most beautiful historic homes open to the public. It enjoys a superb parkland setting with lake, terraces, wonderful gardens and magnificent views overlooking Clew Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, Achill, Clare Island and Ireland’s holy mountain Croagh Patrick. It was built by the Browne family, who are direct descendants of the 16th century Pirate Queen, Grace O’Malley. (Info via destinationwestportirl )
Westport House is one of our most historical landmarks and one of our fav spots to staycation. Hotel Westport is located just off the front lawn of the historic house or you can even hire a bell tent for hassle-free camping, all within walking distance from the town centre. You can also bring your own tent or camper too! ⛺
→Locals tip🔥 The Point Beach is just walking distance from Westport House where a lovely bunch of sea swimmers gather for their daily dip. Why not join them and then head back to the hotel's leisure centre for a plunge in the jacuzzi to warm up? The walks around the grounds of Westport House are also where you will meet plenty of locals running, cycling or dog walking. We love sitting in the beautiful gardens and people watching with a coffee. We really miss people. 🤓

Today is world heart day and we proudly support the Irish Heart Foundation and #herheartmatters by turning Westport House ♥️
Visitors to Westport House may notice the prevalence of the eagle in various forms throughout the house and grounds 🦅
The reason that the eagle appears so frequently is that it forms part of the Browne family crest!
This can be traced as far back to Sir Anthony Browne of Cowdray Castle, Sussex, England, who was horseman to Henry VIII 🐴
His descendant, John Browne (1709 – 1776) was made Baron Mount Eagle on the 20th August 1729, Viscount Westport on 24th August 1760 and Earl of Altamont on 4th December 1771!
Later, his grandson, John Denis Browne then the 3rd Earl of Altamont, received the title Marquess of Sligo for his support in favour of the Act of Union 1800!
The eagle has been a favoured and frequent design detail in both the architecture and the interiors of the house 🙌🏻
On approach, visitors to the House can see two eagles on each corner of the East front of the house and once inside, the visitor can encounter the Eagle emblem as they explore the various rooms and floors of the Georgian Manor 🦅

At the moment, Seán is working on a crop of foxgloves, their official name Digitalis purpurea, for 2023. Seán would describe them as the flower and face of Westport House, they come into bloom from mid-May 🌞

We had such a fun night at our monthly book club meet-up for May.
We discussed the recently read Laurie R. King's 'The Beekeeper's Apprentice' which many of our members felt somewhat plagiarised in the sense that Sherlock Holmes was the creation of another author.
The books pitched for June were 'Did Ye Hear Mammy Died' by Seamus O'Reilly and 'Exciting Times' by Naoise Dolan naoisedolan
'Exciting Times' won out and we are so looking forward to getting stuck into the story for the next few weeks!

I used to take photos on sunny days only.
Preferably during golden hour.
Preferably with skies clear and cloudless.
Preferably late summer.
I would have never known how the wild wind bends the long grass like it bows...
I would have never known how the fading light on the bleak winter day reveals the unseen colours of the landscape...
I would have never known that my own freedom as a photographer lies where the comfort ends. That safety and perfect circumstances will never allow me to learn, and grow. And that challenges make me a better photographer, make me more connected to the story I want to tell. I would have never known any of this if I stayed in my comfort zone of golden hour colours.
Thank you magdamoiselle for being my model on this wild December day when you could have stayed home in warmth and comfort. I’m so lucky to meet and know women who are willing to brave the storms with me.
Colours of summer in Westport. 🌺🌸🌼

At the first attempt (leaving the highly recommended thewyattwestport tonight), we found a lovely local bar! It's a proper old school establishment, with local people and a shop! A dream find and in the middle of town.
Iggy was made very welcome and this pub gets a 10/10!
