“There is to be great care taken in the setting the town of Carnew and the lands adjoining to it, for it is to be observed as the manufactorys increase the lands will rise…It is my humble opinion that the best method for my Lord is to set the parks about the town from year to year, and as the manufactorys increase, to encourage the best sort of workmen on small holdings, and that hey become immediate tenants to my Lord, and it were wished for that all the inhabitants of Carnew were moved out of it, they being a parcel of lazy, sluggish people, and a new colony of industrious people settle in their places who understand the manufactory business”.
