Books by Peter Marson

Peter Marson was educated at Westminster City School in London and graduated in law from Trinity College, Cambridge. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. When he retired from a long career in law and business in 1990 he and his wife Ellen, who was born in Belfast, moved there and, in a career change, joined the National Trust. They worked principally at Castle Ward until, in 1994, Peter was appointed to manage Castle Coole, a house and demesne he had fallen in love with since first seeing it.

In 1998 Peter retired and took up the challenge of establishing the Lowry Corry family archive: cataloguing the enormous numbers of books, papers, letters and other private materials in the house and undertaking a long programme of research into the family’€™s history to add as much as possible to the extensive work carried out by the 4th Earl in his two histories.
