History:

Old maps of County Down show Tullymurry Cottage, the forerunner of the existing house. The cottage, which still exists today, was probably built in the early 17th century and was the precursor of an extension built ca. 1700 which comprises the present day kitchen area and bathroom end of the house. In Georgian times - ca 1780 - the Weir family built on the imposing front section and resided at the house until 1828. In this year John Marshall, a member of a wealthy local family, purchased the house and married Charlotte Weir. The Marshall family were extensive landowners and owned much of the Tullymurry townland; they were also responsible during their residency for establishing the beautiful parkland in front of the house.

Les cartes anciennes du Comté de Down montre le cottage de Tullymurry, l'ancêtre de la maison existante. Le cottage qui existe encore aujourd'hui fut probablement construit au début du 17ème siècle et fut le précurseur d'une extension construite au fond de la maison vers 1700 qui comprend aujourd'hui une cuisine et une salle de bain. A l'époque géorgienne vers 1780, la famille Weir fit construire sur l’importante partie avant et résidèrent à la maison jusqu'en 1828. Cette même année John Marshall, un membre d'une riche famille locale, acheta la maison et épousa Charlotte Weir. La famille Marshall était des propriétaires importants et possédait une grande partie du territoire de Tullymurry, ils étaient également responsables pendant leur séjour à l'établissement, du magnifique parc en face de la maison.

Marshall family misfortune led to an insolvency situation in 1895 out of which Joseph McMinn of Castle Ennigan was able to purchase the house and part of the Tullymurry farm. The McMinn family were a frugal, hard working farming family in the last century but did much to ensure that the fabric of the house was properly maintained. The house and yard complex are now owned by the fourth generation of the McMinn family since 1895. 2012 witnessed the very extensive refurbishment of the house and part of the large farmyard and its migration from a farming establishment to a rest and repose home now run by The Irish Landmark Trust. None of the unique character nor atmoshere of the beautiful dwelling house has been lost during the transition process.

Les malheurs de la famille Marshall les conduisit à une situation d'insolvabilité en 1895 à partir de laquelle Joseph McMinn du Château Ennigan pu acheter la maison et une partie de la ferme Tullymurry. La famille McMinn etait une simple famille de courageux travailleur agricole au siècle dernier, mais fit en sorte que les éléments de la maison soient bien entretenus. La maison et son terrain alentours sont désormais détenus par la quatrième génération de la famille McMinn depuis 1895.

L’année 2012 a assisté à la remise en état complète de la maison et d’une partie de la grande ferme comme une maison de campagne pour le repos et la tranquillité maintenant gérée par The Irish Landmark Trust irlandais. Rien du caractère unique ni de l’atmosphère d’origine de cette belle demeure n’a été perdu au cours du processus de transition. Tourits Attractions around Tullymury House Donaghmore, County Down
