For the greater part of the eighteenth century and for most of the nineteenth, the Hills of Hillsborough, Marquesses of Downshire, were among the leading families in the realm, owning extensive estates in the three kingdoms.
It was on the 'Green of the Fort' on 4 October 1837 that the tenants of the estates celebrated the marriage of the young Earl of Hillsborough (later fourth Marquess) to Caroline Frances, elder daughter of the first Viscount Combermere.
The festival consisted in a dinner given on the castle green [the greensward around the Fort] to the tenantry on the Downshire estate, and the preparations were commensurate with the princely extent of the domain and the importance of the event celebrated to the parties assembled.
