Marlfield House, Clonmel

Marlfield House was the former residence of the Bagwells, a wealthy and politically influential Irish Unionist family in south Tipperary from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries.

It is located about three kilometres west of the town of Clonmel on the northern bank of the River Suir.

The main entrance gate, considered of exceptional quality, was designed by the local architect William Tinsley and the conservatory by Richard Turner.

[1] In January 1923, the main house was badly damaged in an arson attack by anti-Treaty IRA forces during the Irish Civil War.

[4] Following that conflict it was rebuilt and remained in Bagwell hands until the 1970s when it and the surrounding park and estate lands were sold.
