| dc.description | The Parlimentary Gazetteer of Ireland from 1844-45 (Dublin, 1846) describes Summerhill town and the Summerhill house and demense as follows: "Summerhill, a small post-town in the parish of Laracor, barony of Lower Moyfenragh, Co. Meath, Leinster. It is a neat well-built place, in the midst of one of the richest portions of the rich plain of Meath; yet it is in a state of decay. The demense of Summerhill adjoining it on the south, and of great extent was, not many years ago, regarded as one of the finest of Ireland; but it has been nearly denuded of its venerable and magnificent woods, and is in the fair way to become a scene of comparative desolation. The mansion was a splendid specimen of Grecian architecture; but it is now in a condition too sadly in keeping with the demense. The estate of Summerhill was the property of the ancient and opulent family of Rowley, and still belongs to their descendant, Lord Langford." Summerhill house no longer stands. It was burned down during the 1922 Civil War. (www.countymeath.com) | en |
