Book Synopsis Borris House, Co. Carlow, and Elite Regency Patronage by : Edmund Joyce
Book excerpt: Borris House has been the ancestral home of the MacMurrough Kavanagh family for approximately 900 years. Walter Kavanagh succeeded his father to the estates at Borris in 1792. In the early 19th century, he decided to transform his home. As the house transformed, so did the collections within. The family amassed notable collections of furniture, books, and silver. This volume identifies the role that Walter Kavanagh and later his brother and heir Thomas had in the shaping of Borris House and its collections.
