    Bellevue was a Big House, now gone. GeoHive OSI 25", I think all the crosshatched buildings are glasshouses.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    A google maps aerial view shows the walls standing, but the glass is all gone.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Many entries in the DIA including a 264 ft range of conservatories in 1796, for Peter La Touche.

    " ... a 650-feet conservatory, which would house many exotic plants as well as an orangery, a cherry house, a peach house and a vinery. Completed in 1793, this magnificent creation was then the largest conservatory in Europe. ..." From www.greystonesguide.ie/requiem-for-the-big-house-on-the-h... - includes a YouTube video of a walk around the grounds with locals holding a copy of this photo.

    Ha ha! Beautiful gardens were laid out with winding paths and "extras" built by David and his son, Peter, when he inherited in 1785. Among these was the Octagon, built in 1766, with a panther on springs, which could be made to jump out at unwary visitors. The house was most famous for its huge glasshouse, built between 1783 and 1793, in which many exotic plants were grown.

Flowers are little consolation

    The catalogue says commissioned by Mr. Medlycott, Portlaw. The Medlycotts in the 1911 census.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    John Medlycott died aged 45 on Feb 10th in Portlaw, and Mary F. Medlycott was present, same family from the census above. Likely the 5 children from the census: Constance and Florence the older girls, John and George the two boys, and little Lilian.

    O Mac I think you are right. The double windows with outside wooden shutters seen here - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000592859 - seem to match Clonegam north side. Lots of interesting info and enlargeable photos here - theirishaesthete.com/2019/07/01/curraghmore-church/
