Place & story
Occupants of Uregare House
Uregare House, also known as Newlawn, stood in Knockuregare townland in Uregare parish. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database records Mrs Gubbins there in 1837. At Griffith’s Valuation, Mrs N. Barron occupied it as a tenant of William G. Gubbins, with the buildings valued at more than £22. Thomas A. Dicken was its occupant in 1906. The database states that the house no longer survives, without supplying a demolition date. [2]
