History:
While visiting Versailles in France, William Bourton Conyngham (Slane Castle) admired a square with four Georgian houses, one on each corner and decided to sketch them to capture his vision for Slane Village.
He then asked Henry Fisher to build them. It took 5 years to build each house, this would have been a typical time period to build a large three story house. The stone alone had to be hauled from 2 quarries on the Drogheda road by horse and cart.
1st house: ‘Rock House’ – North West Corner – Started Building in 1762 – It started off as a Coachman’s Inn and was one of the first stops on the road from Dublin to Derry by Horse drawn coaches.
