Description | Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to Cree as the seat of John Becher. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Sir H. Becher was in possession of Creagh House, then valued at £25. In 1894 and 1906 it was owned by Sir John W. Becher and valued at £30 15s. It is still extant and the well-known gardens are sometimes open to the public. |
