Administrative History ↴
The Stradbally estate in Queen's County was granted to Francis Cosby in 1562. In 1782, Henry Grattan Senior received £50,000 from the Irish Parliament, with which he bought the Stradbally estate and a house at Tinnehinch, Co. Wicklow. Henry Grattan Junior's daughter Pauline married in to the Bellew family of Mount Bellew, Co. Galway in 1858 and inherited the estates the following year. In 1908, Sir Henry Grattan Bellew succeeded to the estates. The Grattan Bellews retained ownership of a large estate in Galway and Roscommon until the early 20th century. The family's remaining estate was acquired by the Irish Land Commission in 1937 and the house demolished. The House at Tinnehinch was destroyed in the 1950s.
