Favour Royal

Samuel Lewis recorded Ridgeway's grants as comprising 3,000 acres (12 km2) of arable land and extending over the present towns of Aughnacloy and Augher, including the districts of Lismore and Garvey, with all the intermediate country.

[5] The old house was destroyed in 1823 by an accidental fire, and was replaced with a larger structure by Captain John Corry Moutray of Castle Coole.

[3] Captain Moutray commissioned the architect John Hargrave to design the new building, which was completed in 1825 in a Tudor revival style.

Captain Moutray also commissioned the building of a private chapel on the estate, consecrated on 3 July 1835, which is now the parish church of St Mary's, Portclare.

[8] Several planning applications were submitted for permission to restore Favour Royal as a hotel and golf course, but these expired, and the house was on the market in 2013.
