Lismacue The seat of the Baker family in the 18th and 19th centuries, Lismacue was referred to by Wilson as the seat of Mr. Baker in 1786. It was occupied by William Baker in 1814 and by his nephew, Hugh Baker in 1837 when Lewis describes the house as a "handsome castellated mansion". The Ordnance Survey Name Books describe it as "lately erected...the property of John Charters" in 1840. The house was valued at £55 at the time of Griffith's Valuation. This property is still in the possession of a family member and may be rented for country vacations. http://www.lismacue.com/index.htm Photo of Lismacue
Thomastown Castle The original building was a two storey house of pink brick built in the 1670s by George Mathew with early 18th additions. Wilson decribed it in 1786 as "an ancient but handsome edifice". In the second decade of the 19th century it was enlarged and transformed into a Gothic castle, designed by Richard Morrison for the 2nd Earl of Llandaff. Viscount Chabot is recorded as the occupier in the mid 19th century. He held the property in fee and the buildings were valued at £100. Bence Jones writes that it later was in the possession of the Daly family but from the mid 1870s it began to decay. William Daly was the occupier in 1906 when the buildings were valued at £61.
