Rathcam House, previously known as Lemongrove, is a four-bay two-storey house, built about 1830 to replace an earlier house. Lemmongrove is marked on the Taylor and Skinner maps of the late 1770s occupied by Wilton Esq. Joseph Lemmon of Lemmongrove is mentioned in a deed of assignment dated 1771. Leet records Joseph Lemon of Lemongrove in 1814. Valued at £18, it was occupied by John ‘Lennon’ at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) and held from Christopher Wilson [Wilton?]. The Lemons were still resident at the beginning of the 20th century. John D Lemon was the occupant in 1906 when the mansion house was valued at £23 and held with 262 acres of untenanted land.
