Tourin
Country houses were always adapted to reflect changing circumstances but in Ireland a surprising number of owners endured the inconveniences of a medieval existence, living in small rooms with little light until well into the nineteenth century. Until the late 1830s, when they commissioned a new house in the most up-to-date taste, the Musgrave family lived at Tourin Castle in County Waterford, an early 17th century house attached to a medieval tower house beside the River Blackwater. The family must have found the sudden change to the comforts of modern living was a considerable shock.
