a very physical activity, occasionally driving from Dublin to the Punchestown Racecourse about 20 miles away, and back. He also was a keen yachtsman, and in 1897 he won a race between England and Kiel that was sponsored by Kaiser Wilhelm. A member of several clubs including the Royal St. George Yacht Club, his main boat was the 204-ton schooner "Cetonia" which he bought in 1880, making frequent appearances at Cowes Week until 1914. Record estate After his death in 1927 at Grosvenor Place, London, Iveagh was buried at Elveden, Suffolk. His estate was assessed for probate at £13,486,146 16s. 2d. (roughly equivalent to £ in ). This remained a British record until the death of Sir John Ellerman in 1933. Although probate was sought in Britain, a part of the death duties was paid to the new Irish Free State. His will bequeathed Kenwood House in Hampstead to the nation as a museum for his art collection, known as the "Iveagh Bequest". In 1936 his family installed the "Iveagh Window" in his memory, in the North Transept of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. The window was designed and made by Sir Frank Brangwyn. In 1939 Iveagh's sons gave his Dublin home at 80 St. Stephen's Green to the Irish Free State, and it was renamed Iveagh House. Since then it has been the home of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and "Iveagh House" has become the metonym of the department. Family In 1873, Iveagh married his third cousin Adelaide Guinness, nicknamed "Dodo" (1844–1916). She was descended from the banking line of Guinnesses, and was the daughter of Richard S. Guinness (1797–1857), barrister and MP, and his wife Katherine (1808–81), a daughter of Sir Charles Jenkinson. Adelaide's most famous portrait was painted circa 1885 by George Elgar Hicks. They had 3 sons: Rupert Guinness, 2nd Earl of Iveagh (1874–1967) The Hon. Arthur Ernest Guinness (1876–1949) Walter Guinness, 1st Baron Moyne (1880–1944) Arms See also Farmleigh Guinness family References Bibliography G. Martelli, Man of his time (London 1957). D.
