Jane Barlow (17 October 1856 – 17 April 1917) was an Irish writer, noted for her novels and poems describing the lives of the Irish peasantry, chiefly about Lisconnel and Ballyhoy, in relation to both landlords and the Great Famine.

[...] In 1986, it became the Garda Siochána Retirement Home and the original house was incorporated into the new additions.

When Trinity College Dublin first began to grant degrees to women, Barlow was one of the first "to receive the highest honorary distinction that ancient seat of learning could bestow", a Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.).

[5] She was a contributor to the National Literary Society in Dublin and was friends with Katharine Tynan and Sarah Purser, who painted her portrait in 1894.

[3] Barlow is buried with her father, mother and one of her sisters at Mount Jerome Cemetery, Dublin.
