Springhill, Northern IrelandSpringhill is a 17th century Plantation house in Ballydrum near Moneymore, County Londonderry in Northern Ireland. It has been the property of the National Trust since 1957, and in addition to the house, gardens and park, there is a costume collection and a ghost. Marriage articles between William Conyngham II and Miss Anne Upton in 1680 stated that he was required to "to build a convenient house of lime and stone, two stories high ... with necessary office houses" for his wife-to-be. It was extended in the 18th century and 19th century. The property passed down through the family - twice through daughters so the family became Butle Conyngham and then the Lenox-Conyngham family.
