Conveniently located within a brisk 10 minute walk of local DART. This is a granite built, Tudor style, mansion erected by Sir William Betham who was Ulster King of Arms at Dublin Castle, which meant that he was responsible for collecting genealogical records and for issuing family pedigrees. Rockford was bought by William Bruce in 1860, who spent EUR 1,500 on an extension to the main house. Until recently the house was owned by the Presentation Sisters who ran the girls school here. The house is distinguished by its many gables, stone buttresses, diagonal chimney stacks and mullioned windows. Above the main door is the inscription "NISI DOMINUS FRUSTRA" which means It is in vain without the Lord. On the side of the building is the Bruce coat of arms Do well, Doubt not'.
