| Description | Wilson refers to Bedford as the seat of Colthurst Bateman in 1786. In 1837 Lewis mentions Bedford House as the seat of S.S. Raymond.At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was being leased by Samuel Raymond to Listowel Board of Guardians as an auxilliary workhouse and was valued at €25. Bary notes that this house was associated with the Bateman family and may have been built for the marriage of Colthurst Bateman in 1775. It is now a ruin. |
