Moore Abbey was designed by the English engineer Christopher Myers in the
Gothic style and was built in the late 1760s for
the 6th Earl of Drogheda (who later became
Field Marshal The 1st Marquess of Drogheda).
The 10th Earl of Drogheda abandoned the house after the
First World War and it was leased to
John Count McCormack, the
tenor, from 1925 to 1937. The 10th
Earl then put the abbey up for sale shortly after
Count McCormack moved out ==References==
