Place & story
Land on both sides of the boundary
A 2020 Eneclann report traces Newtown lands into Eliza Perrin’s marriage settlement with paper manufacturer William Cuppage in 1798. The family’s Claregrove house stood in neighbouring Balgriffin, while part of its estate and its gate lodge lay in Newtown. The report identifies the lodge on early Ordnance Survey mapping and records James Byrne living there at the 1848 valuation. This distinction places the estate entrance in Newtown without moving the main house across the townland boundary. [2]
