Description Reynella House is a seven-bay two-storey country house on T-shaped plan built about 1770 by Richard Reynell. In 1814 it was the seat of Richard M Reynell and in 1837 Lewis records that Reynella was 'the elegant residence of the late R. M. Reynell, Esq., now the property of a minor, situated in a fine demesne, adorned with a lake and extensive plantations'. Valued at £27 it was occupied by John Rynd at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) and held from Blayney T Balfour. This house was home to the broadcaster Marian Finucane and her husband in the 1980s and was a guest house in more recent years.
