The Survival of Enniscoe House in Co. Mayo


Listen Later

Enniscoe House, on the shores of Lough Conn in North Mayo was built in the 1740s. One of Ireland's historic Georgian Houses, the estate now includes the Heritage Centre recently visited by US President Joe Biden.


This podcast reveals the story of the history, management and upkeep of this historic house and estate. The voices you will hear include those of owner Susan Kellett and her brother, Nicholas Nicolson, and John Dyra who worked on the estate for many years. 


Our latest oral history collection - The Landed Gentry in Ireland - was launched at Enniscoe House on 28th June 2023.
