p. 10. “(FitzGerald, sub Leinster, D/PB; Beauclerk, sub St. Albands, D/PB) Originally a row of C15 warehouses by the harbour, protected by three towers standing alongside it. Made into a castellated house at the end of C18 by Lord Charles FitzGerald, 1^st and last Lord LeCale; also lived in by his mother, Emily, Duchess of Leinster, and her second husband William Ogilvie, a Scot who had been tutor to her more famous son, Lord Edward FitzGerald, and who subsequently developed Ardglass as a fashionable seaside resort. The old warehouses were given battlements, regularly-disposed windows with Georgian Gothic astragals, and a fanlighted doorway; the interior was decorated with plasterwork of the period, one room having a frieze with olive sprays and a repeated bust, which might perhaps be of Lord Edward. Ardglass Castle was eventually inherited by William Ogilvie’s daughter by a former marriage, who was the wife of Charles Beauclerk, a great-grandson of the 1^st Duke of St. Albans. In the later C19, some of the Georgian astragals were replaced by heavy window frames, and a porch, rather like a miniature truncated version of the canopy of the Albert Memorial, was added to one front. The castle became a golf club in 1911.”
