Lord Rossmore, who has died aged 90, was a lanky and diffident Irish peer who established a reputation as an architectural photographer and briefly made headlines when he became engaged to the ultimate rock chick, Marianne Faithfull.
The link was Desmond FitzGerald, Knight of Glin, who had become involved in efforts to conserve Ireland’s architectural heritage with Mariga Guinness, and her husband Desmond, co-founders of the Irish Georgian Society. After coming down from Cambridge Paddy Rossmore took his camera and joined Desmond FitzGerald and Mariga Guinness on their travels around Ireland.
In a feature on the then new âCoolmine Drug-Free Therapeutic Communityâ in 1973, this newspaper quoted its founder, Paddy Rossmore, as saying it had been inspired by the problems of an unnamed âfriendâ. Rossmore had known nothing about drugs before meeting this friend, he said. The Dublin treatment centre was the result of a painful learning process that ensued.
As explained in his obituaries this week, the friend was rock-star Marianne Faithfull, whom Rossmore once planned to marry. She had ditched her previous boyfriend Mick Jagger in 1970, in favour of this shy aristocrat from Monaghan, less used to featuring in the gossip columns.
