Description |
This house may have been named after Lieutenant Colonel Richard R. Wilford who held a lease of the property from the Arbuthnot family in 1786. It was also leased to Reverend George Graydon, Sir Samuel O'Malley and Thomas G. FitzGerald and A. T. Oram, as detailed in the Westport Papers. Charles Pridham was the occupier at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Buildings are still extant at the site.
