Place & story
Beechmount in Deeshart
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database records Dr Godfrey at Beechmount in 1837. By the early 1850s Thomas Batten occupied the property, holding it from Henry Lindsey. The entry places the house in Deeshart townland, Magourney parish, distinguishing this Beechmount from houses of the same name elsewhere. It records a change of occupant and a landlord relationship, without giving a construction date for the house. [2]
