Kilgobbin was the original seat of the Quin family, and mostly served as the dower house after the construction of Adare Manor.
[1] In 1777, Sir Richard Quin, later created 1st Earl of Dunraven, married Lady Frances Muriel Fox-Strangways, a daughter of Stephen Fox-Strangways, 1st Earl of Ilchester.
Richard's father, Windham Quin, gave him Kilgobbin, where the couple lived until Quin inherited Adare Manor.
[2] In the 1980s, Thady Wyndham-Quin, 7th Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl, sold Adare Manor, and Kilgobbin returned to being the family seat.
