| Description | Slacksgrove is marked as a long building close to the shore of Slacksgrove Lake on the 1st edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey map (1836). It was named after the family who lived there in the 18th century. John Slack of Slacksgrove was High Sheriff of county Monaghan in 1758. Lewis records R. Jackson as resident at Slacke’s Grove in the 1830s. A later square house on the same site, known as Hollywood House, was built before Griffith’s Valuation of the mid-19th century. This house with an extensive farmyard was valued at £36. It was occupied by James Fiddes who held the property from Thomas Coote. Edward Fiddes and his daughter lived in the house in the early 20th century. Only the outbuildings of Hollywood House still remain. |
