	The Social and Political Structure of North Antrim in 1869
		North Antrim was essentially rural in character, bounded by the sea on two sides and by the river Bann to the west.
		A sample survey of north Antrim estate records available for the 1870s indicates that only a small number of tenants were in arrears with their rents, and only the Macartney estate, Lissanoure, is there much evidence of legal ejectment of tenants owing rent.
		Nonetheless, the denominational mosaic in the north of the county was still a complicated one, given the presence of Anglicans, Methodists, Unitarians and members of the Reformed Presbyterian church, and given the Catholic presence in the north eastern corner.

		The body of the 5th Earl was reported to have been seized by creditors and a report prepared for his successor in the 1770s shows debts of over £50,000 and while the income from the estate amounted to £8,550 a year, this still fell short of expenditure (D/2977/5/1/6/1).
		Along with the other landed estates of Ireland the Antrim and Vane-Tempest estates were sold off to the tenants in the early years of the 20th century, apart from the demesne lands and urban property, although the estate continued however to have an interest in various mines and quarries in north Antrim.
		With the agreement of the Earl of Antrim the bulk of the remaining estate and family papers were deposited between 1973 and 1979.

	Dunluce Castle, County Antrim
		It was built in 1636 for Lady Catherine, wife of Randal MacDonnell, the second earl of Antrim (1609-82), and, from an inventory dating from the period, is known to have been furnished magnificently.
		Lady Catherine was also possibly responsible for part of the mainland court, believed to have been built to replace the lower yard after some of its domestic ranges, including the kitchens, fell into the sea carrying with them most of the servants in 1639.
		After the Royalist second Earl was arrested at Dunluce in 1642 the family ceased to reside at Dunluce Castle, which gradually fell into decay, though it remained the property of the Earls of Antrim until 1928 when it was transferred to the State for preservation.

		The buildings of the lower yard to the north are of less interest architecturally and seem to be of a date between the original castle and the 17th century additions; they probably accommodated servants, and the western wing contained a bakery.
		The extensive mainland buildings date from the first half of the 17th century and may have been erected because the widowed Duchess of Buckingham, whom the second Earl of Antrim married, disliked, quite understandably, the bleakness of the old fortress.
		After the 1641 rebellion it was deserted by the Antrim family and gradually fell into decay until 1928, when it was acquired by the Ministry of Finance and restored.
