Place & story
A house recorded in 1837
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account of Monsea names Richmond as the residence of R. W. Gason and describes its planted demesne. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates project identifies the house with this Richmond townland and records it as a Gason family seat through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Its account reports an early-1850s house valuation of £46, when the property was held in fee. [2] [3]
