Myrtle Grove is an Elizabethan gabled house in Youghal, County Cork, Ireland. The house is notable as a rare example in Ireland of a 16th-century unfortified house. It is situated in a secluded spot, close to the Collegiate Church of St Mary Youghal. ==History== It was home for Sir Walter Raleigh in 1588-1589. Myrtle Grove's South Gable is where Edmund Spenser is reputed to have written part of his poem ''The Faerie Queene''. The house was acquired in 1602 from Sir Walter Raleigh's Irish estate by Richard Boyle, who later became Earl of Cork. Though remodeled twice it is still the best Tudor house in Ireland. The house was acquired by Hayman family in the 18th century.〔M. Bence-Jones, A Guide to Irish Country Houses, London, 1988.〕 〔J.B. Burke, Visitation, 2nd Series, II, 1855, 66.〕 In the 20th century, it was the home of Sir Henry Arthur Blake and Lady Blake. At this time, the building housed "the best collection of West Indian paintings and sketches". The Blakes lived here until their deaths. They were buried in the garden.〔(Independent article by Patrick Cockburn )〕 The house remains in private ownership but is open to the public on certain days of the year.
