Coalbrook A Langley home in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Ordnance Survey Name Books describe the demesne as "nearly one half wood and oranmental ground" in 1838. It was valued at £35.10 shillings in the mid 19th century when held by Henry Langley in fee. George Langley was the occupier in 1906 when the buildings were valued at £41+. This house is still extant and lived in. Photo of Coalbrook
Pastor Ville [Kockboy] In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to Pastorville as a gentleman's seat and to Micheal Meeghan as the proprietor. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Timothy Meighan held a house at Knockboy valued at £10.15 shillings and 15 acres from Edmund Byrne. This appears to be the house Pastor Ville marked on the first Ordnance Survey map and on the later 25-inch map of the 1890s. Buildings are still located at this site.
Littlefield Littlefield, Killenaule, was the residence of Flor Carrol in 1814 and of E. Cooke "who occasionly resides here" in 1837. Earlier, in 1786, Wilson had referred to it as the seat of Mr. Cooke. Edward Cooke is recorded as the occupier at the time of Griffith's Valuation. He held the property in fee and the buildings were valued at £12. This house is now a ruin. Photo of Littlefield
Kilcooly Abbey In 1786 Wilson refers to Kilcooley as the residence of Sir William Barker. This was the seat of the Barker and later Ponsonby Barker family in the 18th and 19th centuries. It remained in the possession of the family now known as Ponsonby until the early 21st century. The present house dates from the late 18th century, the family having previously lived in the old abbey. The house was partially destroyed by a fire in 1839 and rebuilt. In the mid 19th century the house was valued at £67.10 shillings. Photo of Kilcooly Abbey
George's Park Located on the Barker estate this house may be named after George Ashby who lived in it in the mid 19th century. It has been extended since it appeared on the first Ordnance Survey map and was valued at £13.10 shillings at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of George's Park
