| Riverview/Cloggy House | River View was situated on the bank of the River Erne. It was obviously associated with linen making in the early 19th century as beetling and bleaching mills are both marked near the house on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). A corn mill is also shown nearby. The Faris family were resident in Cloggy from at least 1832 when Alexander Faris is mentioned in the Tithe Applotment Books. In the mid-19th century William Faris was resident holding the buildings valued at £15 from Cosby Thomas Nesbitt. Alexander Faris/Ferris, a farmer and his family were living in Cloggy at the beginning of the 20th century. This house has been modernised and still retains a fine range of outbuildings. | |
| Laurel Bank/Holly Bank | This house, originally known as Laurel Bank, is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). It is shown in a demesne which included an old bleach mill and a corn mill and kiln. It is believed to have been built by a mill owner in the 18th century. Griffith’s Valuation records William Norton as the occupant holding the property valued at £8.10.0. from the Earl of Gosford. The house is called Holly Bank on the 25 inch map. Altered and added to in the 20th century it continues to be a residence. | |
