Place & story
A clergyman’s proposed residence
The Irish Architectural Archive lists the Rev. John Garrett’s glebe house at Ballymote under Emlaghfad parish, dating the project to 1807–1810. Its entry describes surviving plans for a three-bay house of two storeys above a basement, with single-storey offices. An annotation records approval on 23 February 1807. The same entry cites Lewis for a £100 gift and £600 loan from the Board of First Fruits in 1810. The drawings and financial record preserve different stages in providing Garrett’s residence. [2]
