Mary O'Riordan - Big Houses of Togher


 Mary O'Riordan - Deanrock Est. Togher


Almost 2½ years ago at the Togher Historical Assoc.'s Open Day in the Community Centre ( see here ) , Mary O'Riordan contributed several handouts which dealt with various historical topics for the general public to take away and peruse at their own leisure. The information was garnered from Mary's research into the books of Richard Henchion and Pat O'Keeffe and greatly simplified for easy access to those who would not normally read an historical article. Below are the full scans of just one of her handouts which dealt with the former Big Houses of Togher , going back many centuries. Sadly most are now gone. All in all a nice souvenir of the day for the casual  historian and curious reader.
