Inch (Irish: An Inse)[1] is a townland of a little over 199 acres[2] in the civil parish of the same name, in the barony of Eliogarty, County Tipperary, Ireland.

[3] The house was built in 1720 by John Ryan, a member of one of the few remaining landed Catholic families in County Tipperary at the time.

In 1723, John Ryan married Frances Mary Mathew, a grand-daughter of Elizabeth, Lady Thurles, and a half-first-cousin of James Butler, 1st Duke Of Ormonde.

[citation needed] According to the Irish Tourist Association Survey, the Ryan family came from Munroe to Inch.

[citation needed] At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the house was valued at £53 and held in fee by George Ryan.
