Opinion varied as regards Mr Dearcy - some people the extremely hard-working and those who suffered no loss in stock thought him all right while less fortunate people did not think so well of him - a "close" but honest man was the general opinion of him.
No one was evicted in this place by him but he could have two families evicted if he wished. Lord Gort was the owner of Rockvale estate previous to the Reformation.
