| Description |
The Homan family appear to have settled at Shurock in the early 18th century. The original house at Shurock was built sometime in the eighteenth century, with a later single-storey Gothic wing added at the end of the eighteenth century. This house was the home of Captain Homan, about 1760 and of Sir W Jackson-Homan (barrister) in 1837. Sir William was created a baronet in 1801. The house is marked but not named on the first edition OS map and the building later expanded as shown on the 25 inch map. O’Brien states that the house was sold in the Encumbered Estates Court and it must have been purchased by George Fleming as he was the occupant at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) holding it in fee. It was valued at £23. The house is now a ruin. |
