Place & story
The house and its occupiers
Mount Bruis lies in Bruis townland and parish, County Tipperary. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database places Edmund Scully there in 1814, Mrs Doherty in 1837 and Thomas Dwyer in the early 1850s. Dwyer held the property from Irwing Bagnell; the buildings were valued at £25. That valuation was not a stated purchase price. The database also records an 1840 Ordnance Survey description of an already old building in moderate repair, distinguishing its condition then from the sequence of named occupants. [2]
