    Thomas Moore (1779-1852) was an Irish born poet, singer and songwriter famous for his songs 'The Minstrel Boy' and the 'Last Rose of Summer'. Born in Dublin in 1779, he lived in this house on Slack Lane in Mayfield from 1811 until about 1815 and his friend, the poet Robert Byron, visited him there during this time. Moore is considered to be to Ireland what Robert Burns is to Scotland. His daughter Olivia Byron Moore (1814-1815) is buried in Mayfield churchyard. The cottage now forms part of Moore's Cottage Farm on Slack Lane.
