The NIAH says Detached three-bay two-storey country house, built c.1810, facing north, having bowed entrance bay, two-bay side elevations, slightly recessed single-bay single-storey addition to east end, and multiple-bay two- and three-storey additions to rear elevation, built onto front of four-storey tower house of c.1585, and makes a passing reference to the "Seymour mausoleum" nearby.

On the record for the Mausoleum, it says The family mausoleum of the Seymours, who acquired Ballymore Castle and its lands around 1700 and remained there until the early twentieth century, so the Seymours probably owned the castle at the time of this pic.

There seems to be several Ballymore Castles. I don't think this is today's Galway one -

Census for 1901 shows a house belonging to a WG Seymour in the townland, but it is vacant.

“Lady Anne returned to Castlecomer to live, and began a major reconstruction of the town, church, and manor house. The new Castlecomer House, completed in 1802, was much larger and grander than the original. The house had 365 windows, one for each day of the year”

Calendar houses were popular. So we’re there 52 rooms, and maybe 12 chimney stacks, or 12 staircases?

suckindeesel Quite Adept I think this is our first (knowing) encounter with a calendar house?

Evidently Adare Manor is also a calendar house ...
"... The building is a calendar house, featuring 365 windows and 52 chimneys, among some other design characteristics. Along the top of the building an extract of psalm 127:1 is made from carved stone: "Except the Lord build the house, then labour is but lost that built it"."

Can't find a Killilirle anywhere, and the only Upperchurch I see is in Tipperary.

Niall McAuley A mystery.

There is a Kilmacredock Upper near Celbridge but I can't find a church.

Church of the Sacred Heart, ARDKEERAN [CORRAN BY.], Riverstown, SLIGO has a similar but taller-looking arrangement (4-sided tower topped by octagonal bit and dome) www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/32313...

Coincidentally, a noted Eight-sided Ecclesiastical Embellishment is Ely cathedral, which can be seen on page 51 of yesterday's album.
