Place & story
The Cooke residence
Cordangan House stands in the namesake civil parish in County Tipperary. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record identifies it as a Cooke family residence during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with John Cooke occupying it in 1814. The Ordnance Survey Name Books later described the house as being in good repair and named J. Cooke as resident; the record does not establish whether that initial refers to the same individual. [2]
Occupants and assessed values
Thomas Cooke occupied the property in the early 1850s, holding it from the Smith-Barry estate, when the buildings were valued at £26. Slater named Horatio Townsend as resident in 1894. In 1906 the property was in Lord Barrymore’s possession and valued at £53. These are dated property valuations, rather than evidence of rents or a measured increase in the house’s size. [2]
