    Is that another lady in the ground-floor window, possibly doing needle-work? (Thanks Mega-Super Zoom!)

    Amazing stuff! Judging by all the open windows it was a hot day. I love ruins but it does seem a shame to see such a magnificent house in its heyday and now abandoned to ruin.

Taking a break

    Thank you, John, your work is noticed but you do not get the credit you should I am sure... a neat candid capture of this moment all in a day's work!!!

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/55597723@N02] One of those jobs, John, that when it's done well (as I'm sure you did it) it goes unnoticed, but when it's done badly or not at all - people certainly notice...

    The Aylward family, from Bristol, had been granted Faithlegg (originally covering over 7000 acres of pastureland) by King Henry 11 in 1177 and held it until the armies of Oliver Cromwell dispossessed them during the invasions of 1654.The property was then granted to William Bolton. Over a century later, in 1783, the present house was built by Cornelius Bolton, who had inherited the Faithlegg Estate from his father in 1779. Financial difficulties followed and in 1819 the Bolton Family sold the house to the Power Family. Nicholas Mahon Power married Margaret Mahon and her dowry enabled him to buy Faithlegg House and Estate. The Powers were a wealthy merchant family from Waterford City and they adorned the estate with the stags head and cross, which was the Power family crest. It remains the emblem of Faithlegg to this day. On the death of Nicholas Power in 1873 his eldest son, Patrick Joseph (Pat) and his wife, Lady Olivia Nugent came to live in the house and commissioned Samuel Roberts to alter and enlarge the family mansion. The house passed to Hubert Power, the only son of Pat and Lady Olivia, and in 1920 upon Hubert’s death, it passed to his daughter, Eily Power. In 1935 Eilyand her husband sold the House to the De La Salle order of teaching Christian Brothers after which it acted as a novitiate until the 1980’s. The last remaining gap in history is from the 1980’s until 1998 when it was taken over by the Tower Hotel Group.
