In February, 2012, I bought two used books at the Causeway Book Shop in the village of Bushmills, County Antrim.
Sadly, that former Aladdin's cave of historic reading material, glassware, pottery etc has since closed down.
One of the books was The Mitred Earl by Brian Fothergill, a fascinating history of Frederick Augustus Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry, often simply known as the "Earl Bishop."
The Earl-Bishop's main residence in Ulster was Downhill House, near Castlerock, County Londonderry.
The book is a National Trust Classic published by Faber and Faber.
It's worth every penny if you can bag it from Ebay, a charity or second-hand book shop.
