Copies of a poem titled ‘The Old Metal Man’ referring to the acquisition of Ards House by the Capuchin friars. The poem reads:
'Gone, gone the Ascendancy, “gentry” and others
That lorded it over the old native clan,
Replaced by the people, the friars and brothers,
Whilst still to the fore stands the Old Metal Man'.
The file includes a clipping of the poem published in the 'Derry Journal' on 30 Nov. 1935.

She was born about 1790 and was marked to William Wilkinson in County Donegal. … It has been suggested that our great-grandmother was related to the Stewarts of Ards'.
