| Description |
Donaghmoyne House is named on the 1st edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey map (1836) and the grounds include a walled garden and plantations. A mill and quarry were located nearby. Lewis records Donaghmoyne as the residence of J. Bashford. John Dixie, who had oil and flax mills near the house, was the occupier in the mid-19th century. He held the property, described as a steward’s house, from the Reverend Robin L. Tottenham, whose estate was at that time in the Court of Chancery. The buildings which included a gate lodge were valued at £17. Donaghmoyne was purchased by Richard Bolton from the Reverend Tottenham in the early 1860s. John Marshall Bolton and his wife were resident in the early 20th century. This house is still a residence. |
