Description

Criol Farmhouse is a 13th-century building with some older work inside. It has two storeys and attics, with a ground floor made of red brick and tile-hung above. The house features two gabled dormers and two casement windows. A 19th-century gabled red brick porch adds to its character. In the 18th century, the house was the residence of the Molloy family. Captain Sir Charles Molloy, a Royal Navy officer who lived from 1684 to 1760, is buried in the churchyard of the Church of St Peter and St Paul and has a monument located in the church.
