Rossin, Co.Meath, 1724-1901

Rossin is identifiable as a concentrated settlement overlapping three townlands and two parishes and has long enjoyed the facilities found in an officially recognized village.

This book traces the development of Rossin from the 18th century, when it formed part of the only Irish lands of a benevolent absentee landlord, into the 19th century when its flour mill was founded.

However, the Great Famine and post-Famine conditions took their toll on Rossin, freezing its development and causing the decline not only fits great mill but also of the community of which it was a part.
