Though the estate was established by a John Dillon, it was the Molyneaux family who made it famous. It's been mostly sold off now and is primarily farmed by the family of my late father's cousin, Kensy Muldrew. The old house was a nursing home for a time but is now a bit of a neglected wreck. Another relative, Jane Doherty has built a lovely new house , facing the old one across the lake. A google search for Castledillon should bring up some photos in a website from the architects/stonemasons(?). <br />There is an obelisk at Clonallen, behind the estate , erected by Sir Capel Molyneaux (?). Armagh museum has the old estate records but they are hand- written in Latin !! <br />John J.

Lord Armaghdale died in some sea-side town in England, can't remember which, he was succeeded as MP by his brother. There is a fine plaque to him in the Cathedral.<br /><br />Always thought Armaghdale had a nice ring to it for a title. The number of titled ulstermen, lots extinct of course, never ceases to amaze me. We probably had more baronets-population ration than anywhere else in the UK!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
