PARISH HISTORY
The Norman Fitzwilliam Family arrived in Mount Merrion in 1210 and soon built a castle. The family, through the 5th Viscount Fitzwilliam, replaced the ruined Castle in 1711 with Mount Merrion House. The 7th Viscount Fitzwilliam bequeathed the house and lands to his cousin the 11th Earl of Pembroke (Wales). In 1918 the Pembroke Estate, sold Mount Merrion House and 300 acres for housing development which took place from the 1930s onwards.
