This is a farmstead of simple rural charm.  Expect a lived-in house - informal, imperfect, a home.  Thanks to your visit, we can invest a little more each year, to bring Ballymurrin's story to life.


The house was first settled by the Judds, a farming family of Quaker conviction.   The stone bake-ovens, inglenook fireplace with clay canopy, open joists, and limewashed walls reflect a life of simplicity, gentleness and belief, that God speaks in our being, not in our possessions...

“That of God in Everyone”

George Fox, (1624-1691), Co-founder of the Society of Friends
