Description |
The Lawder family may have lived in this townland in the early 18th century. Described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage as a late Georgian house, Corville is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837), located in a small demesne. Like Brackley Lodge it was the home of members of the Finlay family. It was valued at £23.5.0. in the mid-19th century and was occupied by George Finlay who held the property from Sir Thomas Finlay. Francis Finlay, minor, of Corville is listed in the landowners of 1876. By the beginning of the 20th century Corville was the property of Robert Henry Johnston. Thomas Flynn and family were caretaking the house for him in 1901. This house is still well maintained and occupied. |
