| Description |
Rathbennett House, formerly known as Farra House, originally functioned as Bunbrosna Charter School. Built c.1758 with a bequest from the will of the Rev. William Wilson, the nephew and heir of Andrew Wilson, the benefactor of Wilson's Hospital. Farra Charter School is recorded by Lewis in 1837 and was still recorded as a charter school with offices at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when the building was valued at £30. It was held by the trustees of Wilson’s Hospital in fee. Sometime later it became a private residence. Occupied by Thomas Cartret Foster in 1901 and 1911, this house remains a family home. |
