| Delphi Lodge | The house was built circa 1820 by the 2nd Marquess of Sligo, who had visited Delphi in Greece. It was leased to Thomas Spencer Lindsey of Hollymount House, county Mayo in the 1820s, to Stepney St George of Headford Castle, county Galway in the 1830s and to the Honourable Reverend William Conynham Plunket (later Archbishop of Dublin 1884-1887) in the 1850s. He was succeeded as tenant by Captain and Mrs Houstoun and other members of the Houstoun family. When the 6th Marquess of Sligo sold his estate to the Land Commission, he bought back this property and the 20th century history of Delphi Lodge is well documented in the Westport Estate Papers. The house was bought by Peter Mantle in the 1980s and is now run as a guest house specializing in fishing holidays. |
