| 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’.

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. |

A house was built to the north east.

The house 'is a small tho' convenient building with out-houses, the ancient castle in ruins, destroyed by fire 40 years ago.....The house is unoccupied except by a care taker’. Following the death of Francis Melville Whyte in 1833, Redhills was inherited by his niece Georgina Mary Enderby. She married the Reverend Edmund Burke Venables in 1847. Named on the first edition Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837), Redhills was the residence of the Reverend E.B.W. Venables at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Valued at £8, he held it in fee. Redhills was the home of the Reverend Arthur Thellusson Oddie in 1905 when he assumed the name and arms of Whyte Venables. In 1906, Georgina Whyte Venables is recorded as occupant when the mansion house was valued at £53.10.0. A building still stands on this site and the gate lodge survives. |
