Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Sloane memorial, Killyleagh Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753) was born in Killyleagh. He acquired a considerable library and collection of curiosities. He bequeathed them to the nation, on condition that parliament paid his executors £20,000 – said to be less than its true value. The collection was opened to the public at Bloomsbury, as the British Museum, in 1759. This memorial stands outside Killyleagh Castle 322113.
