| Description |
Named on the first edition OS map, this five-bay three-storey over basement Palladian country house was built about 1760, possibly incorporating the remains of earlier buildings, including a Medieval tower house. John Meares died in 1790 leaving his estate to his nephew, William Devenish. In 1814 William Devenish Meares was resident and in 1837 it was the seat of J Devenish Meares, as it was at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when the house was valued at £35. It remained a Meares home until the 1930s. In use as a guesthouse in the early 21st century. |
