History
The townland of 487 acres on the east of the River Nore was originally called
Archerstown. The Archer family were one of the most important Kilkenny families
for several hundred years. The Archer’s lands were confiscated after Cromwell
conquered Ireland. Archerstown was granted to the Duke of Ormond. He leased the
townland to the Waring family and they changed the townsland name to Warrington.
In 1864 Warrington Mills was advertised for leasing as: “A good corn mill in good
working condition”. The distillery became know as “The Still” and part of the original
building remains today.
