Location of Marlfield House in Ireland

Marlfield House was the former residence of the Bagwell dynasty, a wealthy and politically influential Irish Unionist family in south Tipperary from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. It is located about three kilometres west of the town of Clonmel on the northern bank of the River Suir. It was built by John Bagwell in 1785. The main entrance gate, considered of exceptional quality, was designed by the local architect William Tinsley and the conservatory by Richard Turner.[1] In January 1923, the main house was badly damaged in an arson attack by anti-Treaty IRA forces during the Irish Civil War. It was targeted because of Richard Bagwell's role as Senator in the new Irish Free State.[2] Following that conflict it was rebuilt and remained in Bagwell hands until the 1970s when it and the surrounding park and estate lands were sold. The first and second floors have since been converted into twelve luxury apartments.
