Cremona House, originally called Foxhall, was built in the 18th century and lived in by an Irish officer of the Napoleon’s French Army. Following the officer’s return from Napoleon’s Irish Legion he renamed the district in which he lived, Cremona in honour of the famous victory by La Brigade Irlandaise, who liberated the city of Cremona in Italy from Austrian forces in 1702.
The house has been extended over the centuries and has plenty of interior space to accommodate living history events, exhibitions, a library, a souvenir shop, function rooms and refreshment facilities.
