Loughton House was Built in 1777 on lands owned by the Pepper family and can be traced back to the Cromwellian period of Irish history. An additional antiquity – the ruins of the original Norman tower/castle can still be seen behind the main house. The Pepper family lived at Loughton House until one Thomas Pepper died as a result of a hunting accident. Thomas Pepper was married to Miss Bloomfield and requested in his will that his brother-in-law, the 1st Lord Bloomfield, acquire Loughton House. Mr Trench succeeded to the property from his brother-in-law, the 2nd Lord Bloomfield, in 1870. The Trenches remained in residence until 1973 when the property was passed to the Atkinson family. The current owners purchased the property in 2016. (Loughton House Official website)
