What is recorded here

Robert Ogilby built Dungiven Castle between 1836 and 1839, leaving the interior empty when he died. His nephew abandoned the unfinished rooms, the Skinners Company sold the bare shell, and the Ogilby family bought it back. The castle stood incomplete for decades because no one wanted to finish another man's pride.
