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. |
