Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Visitation of the Seats and Arms of the Noblemen and Gentlemen, Vol. 2: Of Great Britain and Ireland
Claremont, Claremorris, Ireland, the seat of James Browne, Esq. The proprietor in fee of this estate is Lord Oranmore. The late possessor of the lease (for ever) was the father of the present owner, the Right Hon. Denis Browne, brother of the first Marquess of Sligo.
The mansion was built about two hundred years ago by the grandfather of the present Lord Oranmore and Browne. It is a solid structure of grey stone, in the Palladian style of architecture, and stands on the top of a gentle hill, facing the town of Clare. The approach to it is by a noble avenue of beech trees, that cover about two-and-twenty (sta tute) acres.
