Senhouse (E)

A section of Castle Bruce village that was named after Joseph Senhouse, an English absentee planter who owned the land in the area during the 18th century. He called the estate, Lowther Hall, but as was the custom in Dominica, all the people round about called it after the owner himself. Senhouse only paid a few visits to his estate, living most of the time in Barbados and England. One visit in 1776 is recorded in his diary, which has been published.
