Moore Hall

Moore Hall, or Moorehall, the house and estate of George Henry Moore and family, is located to the south of the village Carnacon in the barony of Carra, County Mayo in a karst limestone landscape. The Moores had been an aristocratic Irish circle of relatives who constructed Moore Hall among 1792 and 1795. The first Moore of Moore Hall changed into George Moore, a name borne by many members of the circle of relatives down the generations. The Moores had been originally an English Protestant family but a few became Catholic whilst John Moore married a Roman Catholic, Jane Lynch Athy of Galway, and whilst their son, George, married Katherine de Kilikelly a.Ok.A. Kelly, an Irish-Spanish Catholic, in 1765. The residence, lake, farm, and estate is now owned with the aid of the forestry employer, Coillte, and it's far a traveler attraction within the region.

The house isn't always open to the public due to its bad circumstance – it has not been refurbished since it become burned. Native forestry grows at the property lands, with trees growing over the farm partitions and buildings behind the ruins of the grand house. Local folks that lived and worked on the Moore Hall estate recollect it fondly.The property exceeded to the Irish Land Commission upon the dying of George Moore, and a campaign to restore the house has been waged.
