p. 287. “(Mannix, Bt/EDB; Cummins/IFR) A Georgian house, originally the seat of the Mannix family; leased from 1803 by the Cummins family, who were connected to the Mannix family by marriage; and who bought it later in C19. The house is believed to have been largely rebuilt by N.M. Cummins some time ante 1838 and made three storeys high having formerly been only two; if so, that top storey was subsequently removed, for the house is now only two storeys. It has a plain front of six bays, prolonged by a wing set back.”
