Place & story
A nineteenth-century residence
Kilcolman Abbey was a Godfrey family residence in Kilcolman parish, County Kerry. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database identifies Sir William Godfrey as its occupant both in Lewis’s 1837 account and at Griffith’s Valuation. Slater’s directory listed Sir John F. Godfrey there in 1894. The property remained in the estate in 1906. Sir William Maurice Godfrey sold it in the 1960s, and the house was demolished in 1977. These records concern the country house bearing the Abbey name. [2]
