John Richard Wolfe was born in 1832 in the townland of Mallavonea, near Skibbereen, Co. Cork, Ireland. He was the second son of farmer Richard Wolfe and Susan Croston, a Church of Ireland family. John followed a religious path early in his life being a Scripture Reader for the Irish Church Mission. He then trained as a missionary with the Church Missionary Society (C.M.S) in England from 1857 and after being ordained deacon in St. Paul’s cathedral in May 1861 he was assigned to Foochow in South China. He landed there in 1862 and successfully pursued his missionary work until he died in 1915. John married and had six children. He was made Archdeacon in 1887 and Vice-President of the C.M.S in 1910. We have produced a number of books that give an insight into aspects of his working environment, his achievements and his family.

1851.  Report of A. N. Neal, Inspector of Drainage on Land Improvement in South West Cork.  Larger Farmers Precluded from Applying For Benefit of Land Improvement as They Did Not Possess Sufficient Legal Title under Act.  Praise for William Bence Jones (Clonakilty). Rev. R. Wright (Probably Beecher Land Agent), Rev. John Triphook (Mizen Peninsula) Rev. Thomas Tuckey (Probably Drimoleague), Mrs. L. C. Kearney (Garretstown), Mr. John Moloney, William T.Hungerford (Rosscarbery), Henry Baldwin, Cornelius O’Callaghan, Rev. John Murphy (Probably Newtown, Bantry).  Details of Grant Applications in Baronies of East and West Carbery Bantry and Bere.

The lack of legal interest is frequently quoted as a reason for lack of development.  In the northern counties the ‘Ulster Custom’ protected tenants who were to be compensated by Landlords for improvements but in many southern estates no such benefit was given.
