Doory Hall

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]
