Footnotes
Provenance:
Carrigglas Manor, Co. Longford.
Carrigglas was leased to and later bought by Thomas Lefroy (1776-1869), who had an eminent political career serving as Baron of the Court of Exchequer in 1841 and later as the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland (from 1852). Lefroy designed a new house at Carrigglas, c.1837, demolishing the earlier building. The Lefroy family remained at Carriglass Manor until around 2005 when they sold the estate and gardens.
