King Henry VIII granted Kilone Abbey and the parish of Killone, including Newhall, and much other property in County Clare, to Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Thomond (surrender and regrant).
The Viscount Clare built the initial Newhall house and stables, said to be built with stones from Killone Castle.
Charles MacDonnell MP built a Georgian Queen-Anne style front, creating a T-shaped layout.
