About Walcot
Walcot is one of 295 buildings in Birr the National Inventory rates Regional. Its record dates Walcot to 1760–1800. 170 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
Set within its own grounds, this attractive, symmetrical building retains much fabric and many materials of note. Features, such as the two-over-two timber sash windows, though not original, are in keeping with the character of the house and probably represent its nineteenth-century remodelling.

When was Walcot built?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
