Newhall House and Estate
Newhall is a 17th century country estate near Ennis in County Clare in Ireland, historically held by members of the Irish landed gentry. The front section of the house was added during the Georgian period, creating a T-shaped design with an elongated older rear section which was used partially as servants quarters.
The estate's demesne includes a holy well, gate lodges, woodlands, parklands, lakes, Killone Abbey (founded 1190 by Donald Mor O’Brien King of Thomond, for nuns of the rule of St. Augustine and later protected as a national monument) and has an associated folklore legend concerning a mermaid.
In 1544 King Henry VIII of England granted Kilone Abbey and the parish of Killone, including Newhall, and much other property in County Clare, to Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Thomond. This occurred after Murrough offered the kingdom of Thomond to the King of England, and received his lands and titles back as a feudal subject (a process known as surrender and regrant).
The historic core of Newhall is said to have been constructed using stones from Killone Castle. In 1580, Killone Castle was the property of the Baron of Inchiquin. There is now no trace of the castle beyond Newhall House.
The original back section of Newhall and stables were commenced in 1650. During this period Daniel O'Brien, 3rd Viscount Clare owned the estate.
In 1708, Colonel John O'Brien left Newhall and Killone to his wife, Honora O'Brien, in his will.
Honora O'Brien had a relationship with Richard Burke, 2nd Earl of Clanricarde. Their illegitimate son, also named Richard Burke, had a daughter (Marcella Burke) who married Donough O'Callaghan of Kilgorey in 1747.
During the late 17th century, the MacDonnell family purchased Newhall and established connections through multiple marriages with the O’Brien dynasty and the Viscount Clare.
