What is recorded here

Thomastown Castle stands as a ruined Gothic country house in County Tipperary, enlarged by Francis Matthew in 1812 after George Matthew built the earliest structure around 1670. Its polygonal towers, crenellations and walled gardens still frame the courtyard where the Matthew family once lived. The house fell into disrepair from 1870, leaving behind a spectacular ruin that preserves much of the seventeenth-century interior beneath its broken roofline.
