Historically, the concept of Pat 4 Mowing came from our heritage relating to Ampertaine House, an old mansion from Ireland. It is a 3 story Georgian style mansion built by my third great grandfather William Clark in 1853 for his new bride from Waterford. They owned a linen milling town at Upperlands, Co Derry. William Clark and Sons is still one of the oldest companies in Britain. His oldest son, William was my great great grandfather and heir to the family home and business. He fell in love with a good woman, but of lower social status and they got sent off to the colonies with some money to stay away. That was Victorian Britain. The home remained in the family until recently.
