| Description | Built in 1827 to the design of Thomas Rickman, this large house was the first residence of the Shirleys in county Monaghan, although they had owned a large estate since Elizabethan times. Lewis described this new edifice as ‘a spacious and handsome structure in the Elizabethan style of architecture’. A church and great hall were later additions. The buildings were valued at £180 circa 1860. The Shirley family continue to live at Lough Fea. |
