Historical Information

A house is shown on this site on the OS Map of 1833/4, which may have corresponded to the building demolished recently. Undoubtedly the property once belonged to the ‘Woburn’ estate. House demolished c.1996. References- Primary sources 1 PRONI T.1242 Map of the estate of George Dunbar Esq. by J.A. Williamson 1797. [This map shows the townlands of Ballyrolly and Drumfad. A copy was held by PRONI but is at present missing. A much reduced reproduction of the map is shown on p.35 of 'Christ Church Carrowdore' by Susan E. Pack Beresford (1994). This particular house does not appear to be indicated on the map.] 2 PRONI VAL 1B/32 Valuation records for the townland of Ballyrolly (Parish of Donaghadee) 1830s. 3 PRONI Ordnance Survey Maps 1st Edition 1833/4, Down 7. 4 PRONI Ordnance Survey Maps 1st Revision 1858-60, Down 7. 5 PRONI ‘Griffith’s’ valuation for the townland of Ballyrolly (Parish of Donaghadee) 1863.
