Description | A house built in the 1830s for Bishop George de la Poer Beresford, designed by William Farrell and resembling Rathkeeny. It replaced an earlier palace on a different site. Its rateable valuation was £100 in the 1850s, the Bishop of Kilmore being owner and occupier. This house continued to be the home of the Bishops of Kilmore until the early 21st century. It is now in private hands and currently for sale (2022), see https://theirishaesthete.com/tag/kilmore/ |
