Detached three-bay two-storey manse, "secured" 1872, on a T-shaped plan centred on single-bay single-storey gabled projecting porch to ground floor. Occupied, 1901; 1911. Reroofed, ----. Replacement pitched artificial slate roofs including pitched (gabled) artificial slate roof (porch) with ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stacks having corbelled stepped stringcourses below capping supporting terracotta or yellow terracotta octagonal pots, and uPVC rainwater goods on box eaves. Rendered walls with rusticated rendered quoins to ends. Segmental-headed central door opening with concealed dressings framing replacement timber panelled door having overlight. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, and concealed dressings framing two-over-two timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Set back from road in landscaped grounds.
A manse representing an integral component of the later nineteenth-century built heritage of north County Mayo with the architectural value of the composition, 'a commodious [house] secured for [Reverend John Wilson (d. 1890)]' (Irwin 1890, 191), suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form centred on an expressed porch; the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated tiered visual effect; and the high pitched roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of a manse having historic connections with the Mullafarry Presbyterian ministry including Reverend George Clarke Love (1855-1929); Reverend Thomas Edwards (1860-1932), 'Presbyterian Clergyman' (NA 1901); and Reverend Robert Boyle (----), 'Presbyterian Clergyman' (NA 1911).

Mullafarry Presbyterian ChurchChurch/chapel · 257 yd

Explorer Tom Mullafarry Presbyterian Church has a huge, ongoing drama with the nearest tree about who looks taller. The church is being very stubborn and refusing to move an inch. Toast it with a cold one and hope the tree loses the argument.

Explorer Tom Round tower in Townplots West sits in the middle of Killala, looking like it’s guarding something very boring. A fox took charge of the place for a whole decade once. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom Hawthorn was used as a hiding spot for smugglers who were trying to sneak a case of whiskey through its branches. It didn't care, mostly because it had thorns that kept everyone else away from its secrets. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.

Explorer Tom Enniscrone Beach hates me for some reason, probably because my sunscreen application is a work of art that the waves keep ruining. It's gorgeous, moody, and refuses to let me get comfortable in one spot. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
