p. 98. “(Wallis/IFR; Gumbleton, sub Maxwell-Gumbleton/ LF1952) A three storey Georgian house. Square fish-pond surrounded by walks overshadowed with elms. A seat of the Wallis family, afterwards of H.C. Gumbleton, brother of R.W. Gumbleton, who built the nearby Glynnatore. The house stood for many years as a ruin, a pleasant landmark on the way from Conna to Tallow, which turned four right angled corners in order to avoid it. Recently, however, the road was straightened and it was swept away.”
