• LF015-063 Historic town
  Description

  In pasture to the NE of the N4 Longford-Mullingar road. In 1621 Andrew Nugent and Richard Delamere were granted the castle (LF015-063007-) and lands of ‘Mastrim and Bungare’ (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 537). Later in the 17th century these lands came into the ownership of the Edgeworth family, who were responsible for the foundation of a town at Mastrim, which then became known as Edgeworthstown (Gillespie and Moran 1991, 210). The town was described in 1682 by Nicholas Dowdall as ‘a very good Countrey Town which hath a Market and two Fairs' (ibid.). According to Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 595) it had '167 houses’, and ‘a neat and improving appearance, the greater part having been rebuilt'. The present streetscape dates from the 18th and 19th centuries. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 31 July 2013

• LF015-063002 Church
  Description

  On the summit of a hillock, close to the NE extent of Edgeworthstown (LF015-063----). Possibly the site of an early foundation as the Annals of the Four Masters record the death of 'Forannan, Bishop of Meathas Truim' in 751 AD (AFM, vol. 1, 353). In 1410 Nemeas Offergail, an Augustininan canon of the priory of St Mary, Inishmore, was granted the priory and the rectory of ‘St Michael's Russach, alias of St Vadan's, Mascruym’ (Cal. papal letters, vol. 6, 236). Granted to Roger Atkinson in 1611 (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 214). A church is depicted on an early 17th-century map of Ardagh barony (BL, Cotton MS Augustus I.ii.25) and the terrier of the Down Survey map (1655-6) of Mastrim parish records that there was 'a Church on the Gleabe of this parrish' (NLI, MS 713). The precise location of the church has not been identified but it may have been located on or close to present church (C of I). This is an 18th-century church with 19th-century alterations. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 June 2013

• LF015-063003 House - 17th century
  Description

  On the SE outskirts of Edgeworthtown (015-063----). In 1682 Nicholas Dowdall noted that ‘Sir John Edgeworth Knt. Coming into his Father’s Estate hath Improved it by building a fair house planted, Orchards and Gardens [LF015-063008-] very Sumptuous and Impalled a fair Park for Deer [LF015-063006-] and hath purchased land and near him on which he hath planted a very good Countrey Town [LF015-063----] ’... called Edgeworth Town antiently Masterinn [Mastrim]’ (Gillespie and Moran 1991, 210). The house was enlarged and modified in the early 18th century. The incorporation of the earlier house into the later rebuilding was noted by Maria Edgeworth in 1782, when she referred to 'an old chimney remaining from the former house, round which it was built, a chimney that has been the cause of maledictions to successive generations from that time to this' (Butler and Butler 1927, 251). She described the old house as consisting of ‘all the rooms on one floor opening into one another, small gloomy rooms, and a staircase taking up half the building’ (ibid. 251). A late-19th-century photograph from the Lawrence Collection (NLI, L_ROY_09983) shows several large chimney stacks rising from the roofline of the house, one of which is of late 17th-century date in appearance. The house is now a nursing home run by the Sisters of Mercy. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 18 June 2012

• LF015-063004 House - 18th/19th century
  Description

  Situated c.200m ENE of the main street in Edgeworthstown. Shown as large house, with outbuildings, on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. On the 1914 ed. it bears the designation 'Rectory'. This is an early 18th century house associated with Edgeworthstown Church of Ireland church (LF015-063004-) c. 85m to NNW. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF015-063005 Graveyard
  Description

  Possibly associated with a church (LF015-063002-). The irregularly shaped graveyard (int. dims. 70m N-S; 60m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall of 19th-century appearance. Primary and secondary entrances are via wrought-iron gates at W and WSW respectively. A short distance to the S of the centre is an 18th-century church (C of I). Three conjoined memorials to the Edgeworth’s family, of 18th and 19th century date, are built into its N wall. Memorials in the graveyard itself date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The earliest recorded memorial was dated 1705. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan, Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 June 2013

• LF015-073 Designed landscape feature
  Description

  There is feature named 'Monument' (not in antiquarian typeface) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map located beside a garden pathway within the demesne of Edgeworthstown House. It is not indicated on the OS 25-inch plan (1911) and was removed by that time. There is no visible trace of this 'Monument' and its precise nature is uncertain. More than likely it was an ornamental feature associated with the 18th-century Edgeworthstown House. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF015-076 House - 18th/19th century
  Description

  Early 18th-century, three-storey, gable-ended house. Access to the upper floor is via a dog-leg projecting staircase at the back (NW) of the house. This was the birthplace of Henry Essex Edgeworth, better known as Abbe Edgeworth de Fermont, who attended Louis XVI on the scaffold. (Bence-Jones 1978, 119) Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF015-083 Metalworking site
  Description

  Archaeological testing and excavation (Excavation Licence no. 05E0762, 05E0762 ext.) undertaken in 2005 in advance of development works revealed a bowl furnace used for smelting metal and a number of associated linear features. A large linear feature which extended through the site contained large quantities of iron slag and a fragment of a glass bead (Carroll 2008, 252). Radiocarbon results are awaited to confirm the dating. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 September 2013
