- The time of the landlord dates back to the barbaric Cromwellian plantation. During that time Blunden was the first landlord to inhabit Tullahought. He got his possessions from Cromwell as he was one of his soldiers. He lived in Castle Blunden, the ruins of which are to be seen to day.
Hamilton Lawe succeeded the hateful Blunden. He lived in a castle where now stands Kilmacoliver House the property of Mr Phelan. He lived on good terms with his tenants, as he was not cruel like his predecesor - and he was also kind to the poor tenants.
