Place & story
Mary Phelps and James Chadwick
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates account locates Noan House in Graystown parish. It cites the 1840 Ordnance Survey Name Books naming Mary Phelps as proprietor, followed by mid-century occupation by the representatives of John Bagwell, who held the property in fee. The buildings were valued at almost £30. An 1853 sale rental names James Chadwick as tenant on a seven-year lease and includes a lithograph of the house. These records preserve different aspects of ownership, occupation and tenancy at the same residence. [2]
