| Description |
Bellview, now known as Clonard House, is a two-bay two-storey over basement house, built about 1800, located in the town of Mullingar, home of the Walsh family. Robert Walsh was resident in 1814 and Thomas Walsh in 1837. He was still resident at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), when the house was valued at £40 and held in fee. In 1876 Thomas Walsh of Bellvue owned 528 acres. In the mid-20th century this house was the residence of the Catholic Bishop of Meath. Since then it has been a tourism headquarters and an entertainment venue (O’Brien) and was for sale in 2022. |
