Introduction
This was a noted garden site known from an engraving of 1778, now gone. The 1766 house is now surrounded by orchards and paddocks.
Built in 1776, Ballinteggart House (Grade 2 listed) is set in mature gardens nestled within orchards in County Armagh and has been home to the Troughton family since 1898.
Thomas George (T.G.) Troughton was born in 1909 and lived all his life on the family estate of Ballinteggart House. T.G. was a true entrepreneur of his time and welcomed business opportunities as they arose. He planted more orchards on site.
