| Description |
Cornaher House, named on the first edition OS map, is a two-storey seven-bay country house, built in the early 19th century by the Rev John Vignoles, of Hugenot decent. He married a member of the Lowe family who previously owned the property. It was the home of the Rev. Charles Vignoles in 1814 and 1837, who was rector of the nearby Newtown Church of Ireland church. His sons Thomas and Samuel were in residence at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when the house was valued at £32. The Rev Charles Vignoles died at Cornaher in 1877. It was occupied by William George Lowe and family in 1901 and by the Davis family in 1911. Since then it has had a number of owners, been in use as an organic farm and Bed and Breakfast and was for sale in 2022. |
