Mount Ievers Court

Mount Ievers Court is an early Georgian house and estate near Sixmilebridge in County Clare, Ireland.

His older brother, also named Henry, had been disinherited for eloping with a woman who was deemed unacceptable by his father.

[8] The Ievers family appear to have arrived in Ireland prior to 1640 from England and were a beneficiary of the confiscation of lands by Oliver Cromwell.

Although initially wealthy and influential businesspersons and politicians, in the later 18th and 19th centuries the family lost much of their estate, wealth and prestige.

It was built from 1733 to 1737 and at the time of construction it would have been a groundbreaking if unusual Georgian style house, particularly for what was then a remote rural area.

It was constructed on the site of an earlier defensive tower house of the type that would have been typical around Ireland in the 16th century.

[11] The tiles are recorded as coming from nearby Broadford, County Clare while the oak timber came from Portumna via Killaloe.

The original out buildings and gate posts are still intact and made with the same mix of imported Dutch red brick and locally sourced limestone.
