Description | Home of the Jenings family in the 18th and 19th centuries. Mount Jennings was held in fee by Benjamin Jenings at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £20. It was the childhood home of the ballad singer, Delia Murphy. Her parents still resided in the house in the 1940s. The roof was taken off the house in the 1970s and it is now demolished. |
