Description |
Located close to a graveyard and ruined monastery, Rahugh House is named on both the first edition six inch and the 25 inch OS maps. William Bagnell lived here in 1814. James Bagnell was the occupant at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), holding the house, valued at £13.5 from Charles B Marlay. On 9 May 1873 the estate of William Bagnall, a minor, at ‘Rahue and Knockroe’ was for sale in the Landed Estates Court. The petitioner was Abraham Bagnall. The house was described in the sale rental as a ‘Substantial dwelling house’ and had ‘commodious out-offices’. At the turn of the 20th century Walter Newburn, a farmer and his family were resident and in 1911 James L Hodgins, also a farmer and his family were living at Rahugh. The house is extant. |
