300 Years In Westport House


From royalty to slavery to famine to the British Raj, the women of the Browne family have led colourful lives. Not all of them have contributed directly to Westport House and town, each of these three ladies made an impact on Westport during their stay here. Although history did not record much about these women or their extraordinary lives, they were beloved members of the Westport community.
