In his book "Donoughmore and All Around," Richard Henchion states,
"The personal name Radley and the placename Knockrour have been
synonymous" for over two centuries. In 1586 the first Radley left
England to participate in the Plantation of Munster. Entering
Ireland as Adventurers, they soon established themselves as part of
the powerful Protestant Ascendancy, intermarrying with some of the
most illustrious families of their age (Leader of Mt Leader, Purdon
of Ballyclough, MacCarthy of Dooneen, Barrys of Rathcormack to name
a few). Covering a span of years from 1586 to 1916 and punctuated
with family trees throughout, "The Radleys of Knockrour" provides
an intimate portrait of the rise and fall of the landed gentry in
Ireland.
