Description This land was originally the property of the North family who were connected to the Earls of Guilford. A five-bay two-storey house over a raised basement, built in the late 18th century, possibly by the Reynolds family, but was leased to the Usher family by the end of the century. Occupied by Christopher Coffie/Coffey junior in 1814 and by F. Usher in 1837. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Christopher Swift held the house valued at £12 from Francis Usher. O’Brien writes that the Reynolds family still own Guilford House.
