Frenchpark, historically known as Dungar (Irish: Dún Gar, meaning 'the fort of favour'), is a village in County Roscommon, Ireland on the N5 national primary road.

The French family, originally from Galway, became the dominant landowners in this part of Roscommon in the late seventeenth century.

In the 1749 Census of Elphin it was the residence of Arthur French, MP in the Parliament of Ireland who was the eldest son of John (An Tiarna Mor) and his wife Anne Gore.

The present Lord de Freyne lives with his wife and family at Putney in the London Borough of Wandsworth.

She urged members to boycott the 1911 Census and withhold taxes and provided financial support to workers during the Dublin labour disputes.

She moved to Dublin after the First World War and was bitterly critical of her brother, Field Marshal The 1st Viscount French, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1919–21, who, unsurprisingly, tended to ignore her.

Lord French had previously served as the United Kingdom's Commander-in-Chief, Home Forces, during the First World War.
