Chichester House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chichester House or Carew's House was a building in College Green (formerly Hoggen Green), Dublin, Ireland used in the 17th Century to house the Irish Parliament. At one time, the building had been owned by Sir George Carew, President of Munster and Lord High Treasurer of Ireland. The house itself was built on the site of a nunnery disbanded by King Henry VIII. Carew's house was later purchased by Sir Arthur Chichester and renamed Chichester House. It was used as a temporary home of the Kingdom of Ireland's law courts during the Michaelmas law term in 1605. Documents facilitating the Plantation of Ulster were signed in the house on November 16, 1612. The building, no longer extant, was replaced following the groundbreaking for new Irish Houses of Parliament in 1729.
