TARA HALL, Co MEATH – ANCESTRAL HOME OF THE MOORE-BRABAZONS, LATER THE BARONS BRABAZON OF TARA

1st Baron Brabazon of Tara (see www.brabazonarchive.com for more information)

Tara Hall came into the family through a granddaughter of the Seventh Earl of Meath, one Barbara, who married a Moore. The 1^st Baron Brabazon let the Hall on one of those curious Irish leases in which no term of years was named but the lives of two people were mentioned, and as long as they lived the lease ran on. He was unable to trace whether these two people were alive or dead, so he practically had to buy the place back. However, the house was later pulled down.
