Place & story
An Osborne property
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database locates Newtown Anner in Newtownanner Demesne, Kilsheelan parish, County Tipperary. It records R. B. Osborne, MP, holding the property in fee in the middle of the nineteenth century, when the buildings were valued at more than £56. This is a building valuation, rather than an estate acreage or sale price. [2]
A purchase recalled by a later survey
The database cites an Irish Tourist Association survey for the Osborne purchase from Clonmel Corporation in 1774. It separately dates the house to 1829 through the architectural inventory. The Duchess of St Albans occupied Newtown Anner in 1906, and the property remained in that family’s possession in the early 1940s. The land purchase and the house’s construction therefore belong to different periods. [2]
