It was common for sons of Landed Gentry to become Ministers of the Church of Ireland. Sometimes this involved active Ministry other times a sinecure and in many cases they were not active but land Agnts. The cost of Land Agency was estimated to be 30% including legal fees of the gross rents. Sometimes these clergymen managed other estates. Examples were the Somers Payne of Upton and Bantry (Lord Bantry Estates), the Evansons of Durrus and many more.
