Place & story
Racecourse Lodge in the records
Racecourse Hall stands in Saint Johnbaptist civil parish, just south of Cashel, according to the University of Galway’s Landed Estates survey. Its property record identifies Avary Jordan as proprietor of Race-Course Lodge in 1837. In the mid-nineteenth century he occupied the house under the Cashel Commissioners, with the house valued at £35. That figure is a valuation, rather than a stated annual rent or sale price. The survey records the house as surviving as a country residence. [2]
