Workshops to rent at Lisnavagh
The cut granite stone & slate buildings in Lisnavagh Farmyard were
originally laid out in 1848 by the architect Daniel Robertson as a model
farmyard, and to this end the buildings have served their purpose extremely
well for 150 years. In the 21st century however, the layout is more ideally
suited to the establishment of a number of separate but interdependent
businesses.
All renovations to the buildings have been carried out using traditional
materials, such as lime plaster & mortars where this is possible.
The architectural, historic and aesthetic conservation of these buildings
is very important to us.
The following description comes from Page 1, Baillys Magazine of
Sports & Pastimes, Vol. LXVII, No. 443, January 1897:
"...the magnificent farm buildings at Lisnavagh in stone, on
four sides of a square, with water in a huge circular basin in the middle,
and which are probably the finest in Leinster. They stand on what the
late Mr. William Johnson of Prumplestown, the agent, used to remember
as a bog, for he had shot snipe on it when a young man."
