The story of Ballymagarvey is a long and often turbulent one, going back over 800 years, an integral part of local and Irish history.
Gwenllian de Lacy was the last true princess of Wales. As part of an alliance between her father, LLwelyn ap lorwerth, and Hugh de Lacy, a prominent Norman-Irish Lord, she married Hugh's brother William, and so began the connection between Gwenllian and Ballymagarvey. Times where more turbulent then, and Gwenllian lived through rebellions, was taken prisoner, became a landlord and businesswoman after her husband's death, and lived out the last of her days at Ballymagarvey. The medieval structures that are the Tower and the church date back from Gwenllian's time. The Tower, with its 'murder hole' leading to tunnels would have provided escape for the family in times of attack. Ballymagarvey church is a stunning example of Anglo Norman stonemasonry with its amazing Rose Window and chancel Arch.
