House name	Description
Coolamber Manor [Cloonshannagh]	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Coolamber was held in fee by Major Blackall, when it was valued at £75. It is labelled "Cloonshannagh House" on the 1st edition OS Map but as "Coolamber Manor" on the later editions. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was built c.1830 and significantly extended c.1880. It is still extant, having previously functioned as a rehabilitation facility. Extensive estate architecture also survives.
Lisryan	James Ennis was leasing this property from the Blackall estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at over £20. It is not labelled on any edition of the Ordnance Survey map, though a much-expanded building is shown on the 25-inch edition. The site is now occupied by a modern house.
Moneyhoolaghan House	Benjamin Lloyd was leasing Moneyhoolaghan from the Blackall estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £16. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the current house was built c.1880. It is still extant.

Towards the end of World War II it was, for a time, the home of Prince Ernest, Duke of Saxony. Since the early 21st century, it has been undergoing restoration and now serves as venue for occasional gardening courses.
Ballinree House {Longford)	Phillip Kiernan was leasing Ballinree House from the Moore O’Farrell estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at £5. A larger house is shown on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early 20th century. A house and large farm occupy the site now. This house was associated with the Farrell family in the 18th century as local sources recall "Bonny Pat Farrell" a United Irishman killed at the Battle of Granard in 1798.
Manor Mill House	William Cox was leasing this property from the Tuite estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £23 and included a mill.

At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, the property at this site was occupied by William Green, leasing from the Tuite estate, when it was valued at £4.

Baronstown	Baronstown was a large mansion in an extensive demesne on the western shore of Lough Iron, as shown on the first OS map, with many features such as a temple, summer house etc. Described by the National Built Heritage Service as an important late eighteenth-century Palladian villa with two storey wings, it was associated with the Malone Family/Lord Sunderlin. Taylor and Skinner noted it as a Malone property in 1777. Lord Sunderlin was resident in 1814. Following the death of Richard Malone in 1837 his sister Alicia who had married Henry O’Connor of Mount Pleasant, King’s County (Offaly) succeeded to the Baronstown and Shinglis estates. O’Brien writes that the building was burnt twice and rebuilt. The first time in 1889 and the second time in 1903 when it was replaced by a large Tudor villa to designs by James Franklin Fuller. In 1906 it was valued at £70 and was occupied by Colonel John R Malone who held it with 943 acres of untenanted land. Demolished by the Land Commission in the 1920s, it is now a greenfield site.

In 1906 the mansion house of Rath valued at £30 was in the occupation of Colonel John R Malone and was held with 62 acres of untenanted land. The census records would suggest that the local rector Rev Venn was actually resident. The house is now demolished.
Tristernagh House	Described as an imposing and dramatic ruin with an interesting and varied history Tristernagh was originally an important Augustinian Abbey, founded c. 1200 by Geoffrey de Costentin (boi). After the dissolution of the monasteries and abbeys it was granted to the Piers Family, Elizabethan settlers. In 1783 Sir William Pigot Piers turned part of the building into a residence, which is named as Tristernagh House on the first edition OS map. It was unoccupied in 1814. A new house/cottage was built to the north of the abbey in the early nineteenth-century which is marked on the first edition OS map (N332 616). It is not clear which of these houses Lewis is referring to as the seat of Sir John Piers Bt in 1837. The 25 inch map of the early 20th century named this later building as Tristeragh House, while the original Tristeragh House at the abbey site was a ruin. Woods writes that the ‘late J Eivers Esq, J.P., lived for years in the cottage built by the late Sir John Piers’ while the mansion built by Sir Pigot William Piers in 1783 was ‘a crumbling ruin’. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) James Evers was recorded as the occupant of a house at Tristernagh valued at £10 held from Hamilton Geale. Shepherd Patrick Garry with family members was living here in 1901 and 1911. They held the house from Colonel John R Malone. The house is still extant.
Ardglass House	This house was rebuilt in the style of an Italianate Villa post Griffith’s Valuation, possibly incorporating the fabric of an earlier house on the same site. The original Ardglass House was the home of a Major A. P. Bond in 1837. Valued at £13.15 at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), it was occupied by the representatives of A P Bond who held it in fee. The present house was in the ownership of William Perry Bond JP, in the 1880s. The house has had various owners in the 20th century and was for sale in 2017, see https://www.businesspost.ie/article/high-class-at-ardglass-co-westmeath/

Occupied by James Auchmuty JP in 1837 and at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when he held the house valued at £10 from the representative of A P Boyd. Now a modern building located at the site situated on the main road from Mullingar to Edgeworthstown. Newpark Lodge was for sale in 2021.

The house was a three-storey, seven-bay mid-18th century Palladian style mansion. It was the home of the Tuite family and remained as such until it was burnt in 1921. Described in 1837 by Lewis - ‘Sonna for upwards of six centuries, the seat of the Tuite family, is at present the residence of Hugh Morgan Tuite… the house is a light and elegant building, in a well planted demesne’. O’Brien gives a detailed account of the family. The estate consisting of 638 acres was sold to the Land Commission in 1928. See https://www.tuites1.com/424198848.html

This was the case by 1743 and the school was completed in 1761. ‘Wilson's Hospital is one of the finest and most sophisticated mid-Georgian buildings constructed outside of Dublin. Its design has been attributed John Pentland, a noted architect of his day, and it is built in the style of a Palladian country house’ (boi). It is a seven-bay two-storey building which was valued at £90 at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) and continues to function as a secondary co-educational boarding school today.

The Murray family have been resident here since the mid-17th century and remain in residence today. The present house is a five-bay two-storey over basement country house, built about 1780 and remodelled c.1820 with the addition of a semi-circular bow to the southeast façade (boi).

At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s it was owned by his representatives and valued at £46. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the house was built c.1730 and altered twice in the nineteenth century. It was partially damaged by fire in 1922 and again in 1948.

Whitney of Newpass. The house was unoccupied in the early 1850s and valued at £35. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built c.1775 by the Whitney family, probably on the site of an earlier house.

At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Fanny Edgeworth was leasing the property from Charles Edgeworth, when it was valued at £45. [It is likely that Fanny was his stepmother} The National Built Heritage Service suggests the present building began in 1725 but had several rounds of modifications subsequently. In more recent years it has served as a health care facility.
