| Cloverhill | This three storey mansion was built in the early years of the 19th century to the design of Francis Johnston. Attached to the rear was an earlier two storey house dating from 1758. In 1814 Cloverhill was the home of James Saunderson. The Ordnance Survey Field Name Book describes Cloverhill as ‘a neat dwelling house with portico of the Ionic order, is in the centre of the townland, in good order, well planted about good orchards, gardens etc’. Griffith’s Valuation records Mary. A. Saunderson as the occupier holding the property in fee. It had a rateable valuation of £40. Cloverhill passed to the Winter family through the marriage in 1826 of Lucy, daughter of James Sanderson, to Samuel Winter of Agher, county Meath. Their third son, Samuel Winter, born 1834, inherited Cloverhill. He died in 1905 and Cloverhill passed to his nephew, John James Purdon, who died unmarried in 1933. The house was sold in the late 1950s by J.J. Purdon’s nephew, Major John Nugent Purdon. It is now an ivy clad ruin. |
