Name	Description
Mostyn (Cos Mayo and Westmeath)	In 1852 George Charles Mostyn, 6th Lord Vaux, bought the Rosmead estate in county Westmeath from the Robinsons in the Encumbered Estates Court. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Lord Vaux’s county Westmeath estate was in the parishes of Mullingar and Castletowndevlin and amounted to 2,464 acres in the 1870s. This estate was for sale in the Landed Estates Court in July 1879. The mansion house Rosmead had a demesne of 1,564 acres, additional lands in county Westmeath amounted to about 1,630 acres and the sale included 545 acres in county Meath and the county Mayo estate of 1,460 acres. A lithograph of the Rosemad house is included in the sale rental. Lord Vaux bought Derryloughan East, West and South, parish of Burrishoole, barony of Burrishoole, county Mayo, from the O'Donels of Newport in 1854. In 1876 the Honourable Montagu Henry Mostyn [2nd son of George Charles Mostyn] of Rosmead, Delvin, county Westmeath, held 1,460 acres in county Mayo valued at £159. The county Mayo part of the estate was obviously not sold in 1879 as by March 1916 Lord Vaux had accepted a final offer from the Congested Districts' Board for the purchase of 1,455 acres.
