Charles Brinsley Marlay

He had large estates in Ireland, including Belvedere House and Gardens and the Jealous Wall (both inherited from Marlay's cousin Brinsley Butler, 4th Earl of Lanesborough in 1847) and Tyrrellspass Castle (inherited from Marlay's grandmother, who was the only daughter of Robert Rochfort, 1st Earl of Belvedere).

[2] He moved into Belvedere House and altered its upper façade's Diocletian windows as well as adding terracing and having plans drawn up by Ninian Niven for a walled garden.

[3] He became a member of the Burlington Fine Arts Club, which held a manuscript exhibition in 1908 organised by Sydney Cockerell, Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum.

[4] He made good on his offer to Cockerell and also left the museum eighteen books, 240 cuttings from 12th to 16th century illuminated manuscripts, all the manuscripts he had loaned in 1908, 84 paintings, prints, decorative arts, jewellery, glassware, carpets and Japanese artworks as well as some works that Cockerell disposed of as "modern, imitation, or of too low standard for an important museum".

His personal papers and collection of family manuscripts were instead bequeathed to Richard Warwick Bond, who had edited William Bercher's 1559 Nobility of Women for the Roxburghe Club at Marlay's request - they are now in the University of Nottingham.
