Place & story
A house built around 1820
Ballingarry House dates from around 1820. Its two-storey centre has a projecting pedimented bay and lower wings at either end. A later porch encloses the original entrance, where a carved stone doorcase retains pilasters and a broken pediment. The architectural inventory also records surviving stairs, doors and plasterwork, together with stone outbuildings and a later stable block. These features preserve the household’s working spaces as well as its formal frontage. [2]
The Thompson and Trench interests
The University of Galway’s estate study identifies Marmaduke Thompson at Ballingarry Castle in 1837 and 1841, with Lord Ashtown named as proprietor in the later record. The Thompson interest in Ballingarry and Ballinahinch was advertised for sale in June 1850. In the early 1850s Henry Trench occupied the property under Lord Ashtown. These records distinguish occupation and leasehold interests from ownership of the estate. [3]
