| Description |
In 1814, Thomas Goslin was recorded by Leet as the occupant of Dromroa, Mount Nugent. Named on the first edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837) Drumroragh Lodge was quite a substantial building. It was the home of Charles Carr Morton and his wife Charlotte Tatlow. The demesne and mansion house of Drumrora were advertised for sale on 21 June 1855 and appears to have been purchased by a relative of the Mortons’ John Tatlow. Griffith’s Valuation in the 1850s describes Drumroragh as a herd’s house with a rateable valuation of £12. It was occupied by John T. Tatlow, who held it in fee. Later maps show a smaller house slightly to the east of the original building, which was demolished. The house is extant but does not appear to be occupied. |
