House & Family History: From the late 18th century until 1885 Ardbraccan House was the residence of the Lord Bishop of Meath (Church of Ireland). In the late 19th century the House was sold by the Church of Ireland; it has been a private home ever since. In 2013 Charles Noell, who co-founded JMI Equity in Baltimore, Maryland, purchased Ardbraccan House, together with 120 acres, for €4.9 million.
