Springhill House
Springhill House was built by 'Good Will' William Conyngham as a condition of his marriage contract to Ann Upton of Castleupton in Templepatrick, which required him to build 'a convenient house of lime and stone, two stories high' with necessary offices and outbuildings. William was luckily not daunted by this and begun building in 1680.
