The Bowlingly estate was patented to James Bowling in 1658, and the present manor house was built in 1733, with an east-west wing added about 1830. Before dawn on August 2, 1813, British troops under Sir Charles James Napier landed here and, after defeating the local militia, seriously damaged the manor house and its contents before reembarking.
