The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at O’Connell Square within Ennis historic town (CL033-082----). A depiction by Thomas Dineley in 1681 shows Lenthall’s Inn as a large two-storey building of four bays with dormer windows in the roof and a chimney stack on the S gable and names it ‘Lenthall’s, the chief inn’ (Ó Dálaigh 2012, 4). John Lenthall, innkeeper, is mentioned in the Manor Court Rolls in 1674 (ibid., 20) and a John Lenthall, vintner, is named in a new charter issued for Ennis dated 1687 (ibid., 5). This is one of four recorded inns in Ennis in the 17th century and the only one with a known location although one was in an unknown location on the present Parnell Street.
