Beaumont House 

Beaumont 

Beaumont (Beaumond)  House is located at Bellewstown, on the road between Duleek and Laytown. Beaumont House is a two storey over basement regency style house with a limestone porch. The house was erected in the early nineteenth century by John McCann who operated the nearby mill. In 1837 John McCann held an extensive four and oatmeal mill at Beaumont, Kilsharvan. In 1837 the mill was fitted with the most modern machinery including six pairs of millstones and a steam engine of 20 horsepower. The mill was powered by the steam engine when the water level in the Nanny river was too low. Mr. McCann’s residence adjoined the mill. In 1876 John McCann of Beaumont held 73 acres in County Meath. Beaumond mill closed in 1898 and the building was demolished in the mid-twentieth century. 

In 1901 Beatrice McCann lived at Beaumont. In 1911 Hugh Sheridan and family lived at Beaumont. The house had eleven rooms and twelve outbuildings.  According to ‘The parish of Duleek and over the ditches’ Desmond Boylan of the Hilltown  Boylans bought Beaumond from Mrs. Graham and subsequently sold it to Tom Jenkinson, Snr.
