Marshfield House was constructed in 1711 on behalf of Benjamin Rayner, a local inn keeper from Leixlip. The name Marshfield refers to Archbishop Narcissus Marsh, founder of Marsh’s Library in Dublin. It is recorded that Archbishop Marsh’s niece, Grace, daughter of his brother, was an early occupant of the house. Other occupants associated with Marshfield include Lieutenant Thomas Atkinson and generations of the Cavendish family. Before the current owners’ occupation, owners also included Ferguson and Foresight families of the Tate and Lyle Sugar Dynasty in England.
