Place & story
Occupied in 1840, vacant at valuation
Monaquil stood in Kilnaneave civil parish, County Tipperary. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record, drawing on the 1840 Ordnance Survey Name Books, identifies Mrs. Bennett as the house’s occupant at that date. By Griffith’s Valuation it was vacant, with the Reverend Hastings Atkins recorded as immediate lessor and a house valuation of £19. The valuation records an assessed value, rather than a rent paid by a resident. [2]
A later house to the north
The database reports that an 1877 sale rental recorded a lease to Robert William Henry Roe dating from 1864. It also distinguishes the original house shown on the first-edition Ordnance Survey map from a replacement built slightly farther north in the late nineteenth century. The record does not supply an exact year for that rebuilding. [2]
