The elaborate gardens of Colonel Newburgh's Ballyhaise house have ceased to exist with time, but Rev. William Henry words' in 1739 remain that Ballyhaise was 'made to last forever.'

Taylor is said to have erected 'a strong bawn of lime and stone for his own residence on the site of the present house from which he would command the fort over the river.' A 1618-19 survey revealed that eighteen families had settled and 'everything in the infant colony appeared in most prosperous condition.' The 1641 Irish Rebellion, which was led by Sir Féilim Ruadh Ó Néill, disrupted the village's development. County Cavan was retrieved by native rebels forcing settlers to flee. By the mid 1650's, the territory was regained by Sir Charles Coote, and further expulsions of

The Development of Ballyhaise Estate Village

Estate villages were typically known to be villages based around one estate, usually owned and preserved by one family. Kevin V. Mulligan, ''The Buildings of Ireland: South Ulster - Armagh, Cavan and Monaghan'' (often known as the ''

The Ballyhaise Estate passed through the Taylor family.
Brockhill Taylor Brockhill Taylor (died 1636) was a member of Parliament for Cavan Borough from 1634 to 1635 in the Irish House of Commons. In 1609 his father, John Taylor from Cambridge, had received the patentee of Ballyhaise, namely of arable land in Barony ...
, an MP for the borough of Cavan in the 1630s and the eldest son of John Taylor held possession of the estate until his death. Brockhill Taylor's Ballyhaise Estate then passed to his eldest daughter, Mary. Mary's marriage into the Newburgh family saw possession of Ballyhaise Estate pass into the hands of the Newburgh family. The significant development of Ballyhaise can be attributed to Colonel Brockhill Newburgh who obtained the estate through marriage. As the

at the center of the village and radial roads emerging from the heart. The houses were built in an unusual manner, whilst the surroundings were 'richly-wooded'. The gardens were elaborately arranged with 'ponds, '' jets d'eau'', fruit and flowers'. The village and demesne of Ballyhaise was renowned for its beauty and characterized by the innovative urban planning programme undertook by Colonel Newburgh. It was said that visitors would travel “far and near” to observe the scenery and buildings in the village of Ballyhaise. The interesting architectural style of the houses in the town along with the house, grottoes and gardens were main points of attraction in the village. The Ballyhaise Estate remained in the Newburgh family until around 1800 when it was sold to Dublin based merchant, William Humphreys.
