Description Coolure was held in fee by Sir Richard Pakenham at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £84. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was built c.1775 with a later extension in the 1820s. It was likely built for Captain (later Admiral) Thomas Pakenham on his marriage to Louisa Staples, who were the parents of Sir Richard Pakenham. In 1906 it was part of the estate of Hugh P. Wilson and valued at £24. Coolure is still extant and occupied. Its extensive stable block was located in the neighbouring townland of Lispopple and was valued at £9 at the time of Griiffiths Valuation.
