HISTORY
Tullyard dates back to 1652 and was the Winter and Purdon families estate. Samuel Winter acquired the lands in Trim, County Meath around the time he was made Provost of Trinity College. He was a noted academic with an MA from Cambridge. T he family continued to hold the land as part of their estate and it was included in the amalgamation of The Winter and Pratt estates in the 18th century. In 1805 John Pratt Winter, who had practised as a barrister and magistrate was made High Sheriff of Meath. He lived in Eccles Street, Dublin with his wife Anne Gore before moving to Tullyard in 1808.

Over the next century Tullyard was home to many family generations of the Winters until 1928. Tullyard was bought by Mr.Kirwan, of Galway and then by a German Hermann Bauer.
