| Description |
18th century generations of the Adams family of Shercock lived at Corraneary, Knockbride, county Cavan, possibly in a building marked on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837) slightly to the north east of the later house. Corraneary House was built circa 1850. It was the home of Colonel Fulke Southwell Greville, held by him in fee and valued at £23. The house was part of the Greville estate offered for sale in 1864, when it was described as an ‘excellent modern dwelling house with suitable and extensive out-offices, handsomely situated on the banks of Corraneary Lake. It was erected about fifteen or sixteen years since, at an expenditure exceeding £2,000’. Occupied by local magistrate and farmer, Lewis H. Grier and family, in 1901 and by John Blair Moffatt and family in 1911. |
