Derryquin Castle c.1870. Pen & ink sketch by William Herbert Stokes (1845-1874)
Summary
The artist's mother, Letitia Bland, was born in Derryquin Castle. Letitia married Henry Stokes, County Surveyor of Kerry, and the Stokes family lived at Askive, close to Derryquin. William Stokes, a Civil Engineer like his father, emigrated to Chicago in 1872 but died soon after. This sketch has been kept in the family; it is now owned by his great-great niece, Charlotte Verity, who is married to Christopher Le Brun, President of the Royal Academy.
