History

Since the early 16th century, the Christian Family lived at Milntown. Some of the house from that period still exists. The Christian Family coat of arms still marks the front of the house. There were extensive alterations made to the house over the years, particularly in the early 1800s by John Christian. Upon the death of Willam Bell Christian in 1886 the house was turned into a private school run by his widow and two daughters. It also was used as a hotel before reverting back into a home in 1947 when the Yates family bought the house. The house continued as home when Lady Kathleen Edwards bought the house in 1963. She then passed the house on to her son Sir Clive Edwards when she died, who owned the house till 1999. Sir Clive's estate was then left to the Miltown Trust.

The house has 15 acers of grounds and woodlands. The house restaurant overlooks some of the gardens. Throughout the spring, summer and autumn, visitors can enjoy the beauty of woodland walks, floral boarders and rare plantings. There is also a kitchen garden growing organic food for the restaurant.
