Description | This building is named Corr House on the first edition OS map but was later known as Glencarry or Glencara House. It was built for the Kelly family in the 1820s with later additions, c.1840. Glencarry was the residence of a J H Kelly in 1837 and of Robert Hume Kelly at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when the house was valued at £40 and held in fee. It remained in the possession of the Kelly family until Colonel Arthur Bellingham bought the house in the late 1930s. |
