The Hort Family
Josiah Hort was born in Maresfield near Bath in England in 1673, he was educated at Clare College Cambridge, where he graduated. He was ordained Bishop of Norwich and became chaplain to Mr Hampden M.P. for Bucks. In 1709 he became chaplain to Earl Wharton the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. After his arrival he obtained a parish (Rathdrum Co Wicklow), and after holding two deaneries (Ferns and Leighlin) and two bishoprics, (Kilmore and Ardagh), he became eventually Archbishop of Tuam in 1742.
Hortland House
Although he owned Scullogstown for a short period prior to his death he certainly created an impression in the area. Firstly he changed the name of the area to Hortland. He erected a mansion on his lands in 1748 designed by Richard Castle. In the same year he constructed a windmill on which the following inscription was inserted ‘This mill was erected by his grace Josh Hort. Archbishop of Tuam 1748’. The outline of this mill is still visible. Hort constructed a new stone bridge over the Blackwater known as the Bishops Chair with the inscription ‘This bridge was built by Josiah Hort Lord Archbishop of Tuam one of his Majesties most honourable privy Councillors in the year 1745.
Josiah Hort married Elizabeth Fitzmaurice of Gallane Co. Kerry in 1725. It’s likely that Hort or his wife ever lived in the New Mansion, as can be seen from an agreement made in 1750 whereby Hort let the Mansion previously held by Patrick Luby to a Mr Colligan. Hort resumed the lease agreement with Charles Fitzgerald of Clonshambo except for 38 acres, which was let to Laurence Downey.
Archbishop Hort died in 1751 and was buried in the churchyard of St Georges Church in Dublin, where there is a monument to his memory. In his will Hort identified his estates as Moyvalley, Clonduff, Ballinderry, Ballydrummy, and Hortland; this seems an extraordinary accumulation of lands in such a short period of time.
All his property was left in trust for his second son John.
Archbishop Hort was succeeded by his eldest son Josiah George, (who later became a clergyman). He married Jane Marie Hawkins in 1766. In the same year Revd J G Hort leased Hortland to Thomas Eyre.
Revd J G Hort died in 1786 and was succeeded in Hortland by his brother John. In 1767 John was appointed Consul-General of Lisbon and was at the same time given a baronetcy. He married Margaret Aylmer, daughter of Sir Fitzgerald Aylmer of Donadea. After the 1798 Rebellion, Sir John Hort Bart., lodged a claim for compensation for £950-12-9 for damages to Hortland House caused by the United Irishmen prior to the Battle of Ovidstown. He died at Brighton on 23rd October 1807 and is buried at St George’s, London.
It is unlikely that Sir John Hort and his wife ever resided at Hortland and it seems that he son Sir Josiah William 2nd Baronet was the first of the family to live in the mansion. He held the office of High Sheriff of Kildare in 1818, and represented the Country in parliament from 1831 to 1832.
Sir Josiah William married Louisa Georgina Caldwell from County Fermanagh in 1823. As part of the marriage settlement; it was agreed that ‘Sir John Caldwell would within six months after the solemnization of the said marriage pay to Sir Josiah Hort the sum of £5,000 also payment of a further £8,000 after the death of Sir John Caldwell.
It was during Sir Josiah William’s time at Hortland that the various changes took place. These included the re-alignment of the existing road away from his residence. Some traces of the old road are visible still from Leonard’ s Avenue across the hill to a position a short distance to the east of Knockanally gates. Sir Josiah William Hort was responsible for moving some tenants and workmen from the vicinity of his house to newly constructed stone houses on the west side of the Blackwater. The Hort’s also constructed a lime kiln adjacent to the existing quarry.
The Street
This photograph was of the last remaining house in “The Street”. In 2000 planning permission was granted to demolish the ruins and build a new house on the site. Sadly in 2010 nothing remains of “The Street” except a few stones. This settlement was commonly known as “The Street” of Hortland. This was the house that John Stewart and his wife Rose lived in having been moved for accommodation beside Hortland House.

In 1822 parliament passed as act, which stated that tithes due to the established church should be paid in money and not crops as was previously the case. Commissioners were appointed for each parish to access the tithe payment due from the landlord. The commissioner appointed for the parish of Scullogstown was Joseph Wybrant, who carried out the survey in 1833 and recorded the information in the Tithe Applotment books.
Fifty-one farmers were assessed as being eligible for the payment of tithes. The assessment was based on 543 acres with the majority of holdings measuring from 2 to 10 acres. Sir William Hort’s liability was calculated on 137 acres and amounted to £4-10-00. The combined tithes for the parish amounted to £58-18-11. Wybrant included three other town lands in his survey of the parish: Knockanally, Ballyteigue and de Cathea Newtown or Scarletstown. It is probable that Scarletstown was the original mane of the present town land of Newtownmoneenluggagh as Walter Fitzgerald referred to Scarletstown in connection with the Flatsbuty Family in Trustee Maps of 1688-1702.
In 1837 Lewis describes Hortland parish containing 539 inhabitants and the seat of Sir Josiah William Hort. It is a vicarage in the diocese of Kildare forming part of the Union of Kilcock. The rectory is impropriate in Lord Cloncurry. In the RC Divisions it forms part of the union or district of Kilcock.
In the same year the Ordinance Survey Office produced the first accurate maps of the county on a scale 6” to a mile. Those maps defined the town land boundaries and the exact acreage.
The Irish Poor Law Act of 1838 made it necessary for all lands and buildings to be valued, so that a rate of so much per pound could be levied to finance the relief of the poor. Richard Griffith was commissioned to provide a general valuation of rateable property in Ireland. This work was completed in the 1850s, and was commonly known as ‘Griffiths Valuations’. Sir William Hort 2nd Baronet held the town lands of Hortland and Ballyteige totalling 1571 acres. There are 43 holdings leased from the estate and Hort himself held almost 700 acres, mostly bogland.
In the census of Ireland, 1841, the population of Hortland was 453, with 58 families someway involved in Agriculture. By 1851 the population was 366 a decrease of 19%. This decrease is similar to the national average and was due principally to the effects of famine.
To alleviate the suffering and poverty of this period some landowners imitated famine relief works: and in 1847 Sir Josiah William Hort was granted £800 from the Commissioner of Works for improved drainage in Hortland and Ballyteige. In the same year he contributed £15 to the Donadea Poor Relief Committee. In 1848 Lady Louisa Hort wrote to the Society of Friends requesting aid for what she described as the ‘truly destitute and most depressing poor people by whom we are immediately surrounded’.
Shortly before Sir Josiah William Hort died in 1870 he had moved residence from Hortland House to No 1. Merrion Square Dublin. Hortland House was let to J. H. Peart, Esq.
After Sir Josiah Williams death the Hortland estate passed to his first son, Sir John Josiah Hort 3rd Bart..
Sir John was Lieutenant General in the army and served through the Crimean wars. He died unmarried in 1882, and the estate passed to his brother, Sir William Fitzmaurice Josiah Hort, 4th Baronet, and Barrister at Law.
Sir William married firstly Harriet Stevenson in 1866, secondly Catherine Anne Villiers. Sir William and Catherine lived at Canices Cottage, Co. Kilkenny. He died without issue in 1887. The estate then passed to his brother, Sir Fenton Josiah Hort, 5th Baronet. Sir Fenton was Lieutenant Colonel 3rd Battalion Royal Enniskillen Fusealers. He died without issue in 1902 and the baronetcy passed to his first cousin Sir Arthur Fenton Hort, 6th Baronet of Hortland.
The mansion designed by Richard Castle was at the turn of the century described as being in a dilapidated condition.,(Castle also designed Powerscourt House).
From 1869 the ownership of land was transferred gradually from the landlords to the tenant farmers. The process was carried out through a series of land purchase acts. The last act administered by the British government occurred in 1909. It was this act that divided the Hortland estate amongst the tenantery. The principle recipient was Herbert Warren, who received 162 acres.
Sir Arthur Fenton Hort 6th Baronet, was the last member of the dynasty to hold the Hortland estates.
