Description |
Ladestown House, sometimes known as Ladytown or Ladystown, home of the Lyons family, was in existence when the Taylor and Skinner maps were compiled at the end of the 1770s but was rebuilt about 1823 as a five-bay two-storey over basement house. From 1814 to the 1850s, the author John Charles Lyons is recorded as the occupier. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) he held the property in fee and the house was valued at £44. The Lyons family continued to live at Ladestown in the early years of the 20th century. The house is now demolished but outbuildings survive which are home to a riding school. |
