A page to gather information about Rathpeak House

House in the townland of Rathpeak, civil parish of Moore, County Roscommon.

Information from Landed Estates webpage of NUI Galway[1]

"Owen Lynch was occupying the house at Rathpeak at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £14. Lewis records Woodpark as his seat in 1837. This is also the property listed as his residence in 1814. At the time of the first Ordnance Survey in 1837 the house, known as Rathpeak House, is described as "a fine house, three stories high and in tolerable repair". When the property was advertised for sale in the Landed Estates' Court in 1861 Woodpark Lodge was described as a mansion house which originally cost several thousand pounds to build. There is now no sign of the house and there are modern farm sheds at the stables. Family history sources suggest the house was demolished in the latter years of the twentieth century."
