A. Hayden LL.D was rector of Nantenan, near Rathkeale, Co. Limerick, and later Archdeacon of Limerick. His artistic pursuits are little known compared to those of his only son, also called John Armour Haydn (1881-1957), who was a regular exhibitor with the Dublin Sketching Club during the 1920s-1950s; the son also showed nine works at the RHA (see Snoddy, page 231). Both father and son favoured architectural subjects, typically Kerry, Limerick, Cork and Dublin. Myrtle Grove is the sixteenth century Tudor manor house of Sir Walter Raleigh, occupied by him when he was Mayor of Youghal in 1558-59. Also visible in Haydn’s view is the thirteenth century Collegiate Church, St Mary’s, next door to Myrtle Grove.<BR>
