The Argory
Overview
Atmospheric Irish gentry house and wooded riverside estate
Built in the 1820s for the MacGeough Bond family, The Argory was designed by Arthur and John Williamson of Dublin around 1819. The house came into existence due to a quirky stipulation in a will. Created with Caledon stone with Navan limestone foundations and window sills, the interior of this understated and intimate house remains unchanged since 1900. Stepping inside this Neo-classical masterpiece reveals the eclectric tastes and interests of the family.
Outside this Neo-classical masterpiece, there is even more to explore. The grounds offer sweeping vistas and scenic walks including a rose garden with striking sundial. Explore the adventure playground before relaxing in The Courtyard Cafe with a tasty treat.

What is Gift Aid?
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
- Gift Aid Admission
- Standard Admission
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |

Please note...
Free entry for National Trust members. No pre-booking is required. When you buy your admission ticket, you’re directly supporting our conservation work.
