Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Brackenridge's Folly (aka Trimble's Monument). This is Brackenridge's Folly, named after George Brackenridge who built it as his mausoleum so that "the squirearchy who had looked down on him during his lifetime were compelled to look up to him after his death". George Charles Trimble,(1814-1879) was a prominent Barrister and landlord. Born a Presbyterian but later became a layman in Clogher Church of Ireland Cathedral. He was an atheist but used church connections to have a vestige of respectability. He had illusions of grandeur and referred to himself as Lord Brackenridge, taking on the name from his grandmother. He was married to a daughter of the Bunberry family of Augher castle, and they had a son Upton, born in 1872 and died in 1927. He was a beau who lived off his father's money and spent time in Paris in 1927, where he married a French lady who spoke very little English. This proved to be a bit of a problem when the will had to be sorted out in later years. Brackenridge was dis-owned by the Trimbles and the upper classes. He lived at Ashfield House, built in 1840, near Clogher, the house is still standing and has changed hands about 10 times since (presently occipied by the Beattie family) More at 782505
