Descrição
Lantern slide depicting Ballycowan Castle in Tullamore, Co. Offaly. Originally titled 'BALLYCOWAN CAS. Off.' and labelled 'K4 51'. The monument depicted was built in 1589 by Thomas Morres. This castle is situated in the banks of the Grand Canal although it predates it. It was built in 1589 as a fortified house by Thomas Morres on the site of a former O Molloy castle called Baile-mhic-Abhainn which was destroyed by fire in 1557. The five storey tower of the castle was built in 1626 by Sir Jasper Herbert and his wife Lady Jane Finglas. The land was granted to Herbert during plantations. The castle remained in the Herbert family until 1666 when it passed into the hands of the Earl of Mountrath.
