Drumcondra House in Drumcondra Dublin, Ireland, is now part of All Hallows College. It was designed by the architect Sir Edward Lovett Pearce and was built in 1726 for Sir Marmaduke Coghill who had lived in Belvedere House, now part of St. Patrick's College of Education Drumcondra. Coghill moved into Drumcondra House where he lived with his sister Mary until his death; the house was renowned for its gardens. Close by Drumcondra Church (formerly Clonturk parish) was built by Mark Coghill and contains a statue to her brother Marmaduke, on her death the house was left to their niece. Drumcondra House became the residence of Charles Moore, then second Lord Tullamore, and afterwards Earl of Charleville, who was married to a Coghill niece who following Moore's death remarried a second husband Major John Mayne, who assumed the name of Coghill, and was created a baronet.〔(History of Clonturk ) Fairview Marino History.〕 It was leased to Alderman Alexander Kirkpatrick of Dublin Corporation a former high sheriff. Insurgents from the United Irishmen's 1798 rebellion were supposedly hung from a tree in the grounds of Drumcondra House. The soldier Major General Sir Guy Campbell K.C.B. was the last resident in the House, who rented it from the Coghill family. In 1842 Drumcondra House was rented by a Catholic priest named Father John Hand who went on to found a seminary there All Hallows College which was run by the Vincentian order which is now a college of Dublin City University.〔(Drumcondra Houses ) Dublin Public Libraries.〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Drumcondra House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
