House: Rawleystown Court
| Estate(s): | ||
| Property/House name: | Rawleystown Court | |
| Description: | Lewis writes that "in the parish of Cahercorney are the remains of Raleighstown, an ancient building erected by the uncle of Sir Walter and afterwards the property of the Croker family, who built a splendid house here, now in ruins". The Ordnance Survey Name Book states that the house was built about 75 years previously by the Crokers and that it was afterwards sold to one of the workmen employed in building it who immediately destroyed it. In 1786 Wilson refers to "Rawlen's-town/Rawleigh's-town" as a seat of the Croker family. The first Ordnance Survey map marks the house as a ruin. | |
