Derrymore House

Derrymore House (Irish: Teach Dhoire Mhóir) is a National Trust property in Bessbrook, County Armagh, Northern Ireland.

[3] The park includes woodland belts, a largely unused walled kitchen garden, a small quarry, and a short walking trail.

The house was described by Sir Charles Coote as "without exception, the most elegant summer lodge..."[4] Corry was the last chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland before the Act of Union 1800, in which he played a significant role.

The demesne, which hosted 140,000 trees, was then bought by a wealthy Merchant Robert Glenny of Trevor Hill in Newry who in turn sold it onto the linen manufacturer John Grubb Richardson who lived in the adjoining estate, The Woodhouse.

The National Trust subsequently undertook to demolish a large portion of the house, which had been added by the Richardson family in the Georgian style, in order to return the property to the manner in which Isaac Corry had known it.
