Doory Hall

Last updated

Doory Hall is an estate and now-ruined historic building in County Longford, Ireland. [1] While some parts of the estate (including a number of its outbuildings) are included on Longford County Council's Record of Protected Structures, [2] the 19th century manor house itself is now a largely empty "shell". [3]

The estate was the home of the Jessop family, [4] for whom the house was extensively remodeled by the architect John Hargrave c.1820. [3] [5] [6] Doory Hall was the birthplace of the playwright George H. Jessop (1852–1915). [7]
