| Description |
Ballinacor is named on the first edition OS map. This two-storey, five-bay house was erected c 1740 and was the home of the Nugent family who were resident here from the 17th century until the mid-19th century. Referenced on the Taylor and Skinner maps of the late 1770s and occupied by Edward Nugent in 1814. In 1852 James Nugent, Count Nugent, sold the Ballinacor estate to the Halls. The sale rental describes the house as ‘large and commodious and in perfect habitable order’. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Charles Hall held the house valued at £23 in fee. In 1906, Major George C Hall was recorded as the occupant. Bought by the Finnerty family in the early 20th century, the house is now demolished but the main entrance gates remain. |
