    The most ancient residence I know is the Manor House, it is situated just outside the village of Ratoath. It is a very large and beautiful building it is a three story house, on the third there is an old chaple in which the priests used to say mass in secret and hide from the priest-hunter's in the Penal days. Outside there are two beautiful lawns and on them are many uncommon shrubs and plants which present owner Mr Corbalis brought home when he was a captain in the British War. At the back of the house there is a big wood and in the wood flows a beautiful river.
