The
Argory, Northern Ireland |
The Argory is a neoclassical 19th century mansion that lies close
to the town of Moy, in the far northwest of County Armagh.
Built in the
1820's for Walter McGeough, the house is set in a beautiful 315-acre
wooded estate overlooking the River Blackwater, and remains substantially
unchanged. The interesting rooms contain a varied collection of
family treasures, such as impressive Victorian and Edwardian furniture,
paintings, books and clothes. Other period
items include a unique cabinet barrel
organ dating from 1824 , which is still in working order.
Now owned
by the National Trust, visitors can take a tour of the house,
which retains its 19th century fittings, and, with no electricity,
has been lit by the original acetylene gas plant in the stable
yard since 1906. The outbuildings in the yard also contain a Victorian
laundry room, and a coach house with carriages and a harness room.
There are lovely woodland and riverside walks in the parkland
that surrounds the house, and the formal gardens include a sundial
rose garden that is beautiful in summer time. During summer, the
Argory is host to a range of events. Ardress House is another
attraction that lies nearby.
