Place & story
Raleigh and its occupants
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database identifies Raleigh House in Raleigh North, Kilnamartery parish, as the residence of W. Minhear in 1837. James Minhear occupied it in the mid nineteenth century, holding it from the representatives of Carleton. The recorded building valuation was £20 10s. A separate family entry records William Minhear of Raleigh owning 338 acres in County Cork in the 1870s. These are records of occupation, valuation and landholding at different dates. [2] [3]
