Place & story
Scregg in the estate record
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database places Scregg House in Killinvoy parish and dates this Kelly residence to 1767. It records J. E. Kelly there in 1837 and Eliza Kelly in the 1850s. The database’s account of an 1856 sale rental describes a mansion with three storeys, a basement and attic accommodation, looking towards the Shannon. By 1906 the property was occupied by representatives of Henry Potts. These entries trace successive recorded occupants and the house’s appearance in sale documentation; they do not establish that each occupant personally owned or rebuilt it. [2]
