There has been a castle on the site since 1170,
Fabulous little stableyard with Tudor castellations and doorways.
Completed in 1806, the Grand Hotel was one of a series of hotels for travellers on the Grand Canal.
Around 1811, Lady Catherine Hutchinson-Bernard, commissioned architect James Pain to extend their existing castle in a gothic style to its present size.
Built between 1809 and 1812 at the instigation of Lawrence Parsons,
Built in 1815 to a design by architect John Johnson,
A curious design for a Roman Catholic church,
Originally constructed as a market house,
Now the entrance to a factory,
