Farthingstown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farthingstown is a townland in County Westmeath, Ireland.[1][2] The townland is located on the border with County Offaly and is in the civil parish of Castlelost. The M6 Motorway runs through the middle, with a junction linking up with the R400 regional road. The Monagh River flows through the south of the area. The town of Rochfortbridge is to the north.[3][4]
On the Griffith Valuation of 1868, Farthingstown is recorded as having over 40 tenants in the area. Most of the properties at that time are owned by the local Rochfort family, based at nearby Belvedere House and Gaulstown.[citation needed]
