House: Cornfield
| Estate(s): | ||
| Property/House name: | Cornfield | |
| Description: | Cornfield was the original Ruttledge home in the Hollymount area and continued to be lived in by family members until the 20th century, although it was replaced as the family's principal residence by Bloomfield. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Ruttledge. In the mid 19th century it was the home of Thomas Ruttledge who married Jane Fair. He was leasing from Robert Ruttledge and the buildings were valued at £20. The existing dwelling is part of the original house, as are the ruins beside it. Local sources suggest that portions of the original house were demolished when the property was acquired by the Land Commission and some of the stone used to build houses in Hollymount village | |
