Place & story
The house in the sale account
W. Copeland Trimble’s history of Enniskillen dates the Skea House described in its account to 1830. For 1860 it records a demesne of 297 acres, with timber valued at £1,500. The house and demesne were purchased by George Hassard, a barrister and brother of the Reverend Edward Hassard. These particulars concern the house’s demesne, rather than the much larger collection of properties included in the estate sale. [2]
