Place & story
A house with a later use
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record identifies Nohaval Turrets with the Lodge mentioned by Lewis in 1837 as W. Whitney’s residence. William Whitney held the property in fee at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. The database also records a different use from the Irish Tourist Association’s 1942 survey: a Mrs Slacock occupied the Turrets and kept the Warwickshire foxhounds there. That dated observation concerns her occupation of the house; it does not establish that she owned the property. [2]
