History

The historic house of Florence Court  

Florence Court is one of Fermanagh's famous historic houses but also something of a mystery. Although it is one of the most important Georgian houses in Ireland, no building records survive, little is known of its architectural development, and its history is a patchwork of quite often contradictory documentary evidence.

Restoring the Kitchen Garden Progress 

The Walled Garden in Florence Court, Co. Fermanagh kept the estate in stock of herbs, fruit and vegetables and was an integral part of the working Irish estate. Aided by volunteers, we're working on a project to restore the garden.
