Read the whole record

A simple icehouse, built for nearby Beaumont House, later taken on by the Sisters of Mercy. It appears first on the Ordnance Survey 3rd edition (c. 1900). Now disused, it is obscured by vegetation and protective railings. However, it remains an important contextual feature in the landscape, recalling the former demesne and the domestic arrangements of those who lived there. The information plaque serves to highlight the significance of this historic structure.
