Description | Gillardstown is named on both the first edition six inch and 25 inch OS maps. A Mrs Scully was living at Gillerstown, Castlepollard, in 1814. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Thomas Webb occupied the house, valued at £25 and held from Robert A Ellis. The house was the home of William Evans, a Civil Engineer and Law Agent, and his family in 1901 and of William Hardy, a farmer and his wife in 1911. The house is now the centre of a farming complex. |
