Place & story
A house on the Listowel estate
Ennismore House stood in the Iraghticonnor portion of Dysert parish in County Kerry. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record identifies George Hewson as its tenant under the Earl of Listowel’s estate at Griffith’s Valuation, when the property was valued at £22. That figure is a valuation, rather than an annual rent. The record separately identifies F. Hewson as the resident named by Leet in 1814 and J. F. Hewson as the resident recorded by Lewis in 1837. [2]
The end of a family residence
Drawing on Valerie Bary’s house history, the database reports that the Hare family acquired the property in the 1790s and that the Hewsons lived there until the 1920s. It records the house as demolished, without giving a demolition date. These details concern Ennismore House, rather than the separate Dysert parish near Castleisland. [2]
