A few years ago now with only a six figure grid reference I had looked for it on several occasions when walking in this area with no luck. I only found it after I bumped into some forestry commission workers one day who showed me where it was.
The engraving at the back of the seat says ‘Lady Mary Ross 1837’. Lady Mary who died in 1842 was the mother of Mary Foulis of Ingleby Manor which this seat overlooks though the view is obscured by the plantation trees.
Lady Mary Ross née Fitzgerald was the eldest daughter of the second Duke of Leinster* she married SIR CHARLES LOCKHART-ROSS in 1799. The family seat was the BALNAGOWN ESTATE near Invergordon in Scotland where she was mistress for forty three years. For twenty eight of those years after her husbands death in 1814 with her only surviving son being two years old she was effectively the Laird of Balnagown. According to a pamphlet produced by the Kirby, Great Broughton and Ingleby Greenhow local history group there is another Mary Ross Seat on this Estate overlooking the Balnagown River
*Today LEINSTER is the south eastern province of the Republic of Ireland (Eire) and is made of twelve counties including Dublin
